The union says they’re supporting him but I can’t see how things got this far without the union allowing it. I spent enough years in the AFL-CIO to know that firing is something that happens eventually if at all.
As my postmistress has discovered, union support is pretty shaky if you aren’t one of their urban ideologues. They talk a big game but will turn right around and screw them.

Because of this stupidity the next employe to find a gun, see a crime in progress, etc. will most likely ignore it.

WOW....this guy is popular. Dinah Shore even sang a song about him:
♪♪♪ See the USA in your Chevrolet ♪♪♪
♪♪ America is asking you to call ♪♪♪
♪♪♪ Drive your Chevrolet through the USA ♪
♪ America's the greatest land of all ♪♪♪
huh....what...ugh.....oh....ok.... damn... never mind. I misread his name. He's Mr. Chevilott...not Mr. Chevrolet. DUH

I can’t believe a city gives a pension to someone for mowing grass for 25 years!

Sounds like the union I used to belong to years ago. They took my money but never provided any support. All I was ever told was, “Don’t rock the boat!”.

I can’t believe the guy didn’t halt work, call the police, and then have his crew hang out at time-and-a-half sitting around the gun to “secure” the area for the 4 hours it would have taken the cops to respond.

I cant believe a city gives a pension to someone for mowing grass for 25 years! Everybody wants their only little government-funded Ponzi scheme.

According to a Wayne County spokeswoman and the rules, employees aren't allowed to possess a weapon on work property. What a bunch of idiots!

Goes to my long-held premise that no matter how serious or dire the situation seems, it can always be made worse by adding a cop.
If I found a loaded firearm, it would quietly go into my collection.

Nope, not yet. Take half an aspirin right before I go to bed, though.
By the way, ma'am .... have you taken your head out of your a$$ today?

Thank you, Jo. Just trying to lighten things up a little. The news is normally a downer, which in turn makes us grumpy.

What does the union think proper procedure would be for this type of situation? Cordon off the gun?

"If I found a loaded firearm, it would quietly go into my collection."A distant relative of mine decades ago did that exact same thing in Moline IL where he lived. When he died his daughter sold the gun to someone who went to register it in Michigan, but then the SHTF when it came up stolen and ballistics matched it to the former owners murder during a robbery way back when in IL.
Just be careful is all I'm saying, just like with a new girlfriend you really don't know where that thing has been and done before you got it.
