Police Chief Bruce Blasts Union Tactics

0:00Police chief Robert Bruce in St. John, New Brunswick, just dropped a statement calling out complaints from unionized officers as disappointing and predictable. Most of those gripes filed last summer got tossed out as vexatious, frivolous, and not made in good faith. He owned up to the handful of allegations that stuck, taking full responsibility without excuses. Bruce says the police union has a history of these tactics to undermine management and city leaders, even before he arrived, and they timed it. Perfectly with rocky labor negotiations last year. These moves, he argues, drag the force away from becoming the modern, responsive team that St. John residents deserve and expect. Right now, details in the core file are under wraps since no one's reviewed it yet, and the union hasn't hit back with a comment, so we'll keep.
