The Detention Officers Union tried for years (This fiscal year too) to negotiate for survivors benefits for our members. The County always balks.
If I want my spouse to have a portion or all of my pension, it costs a big percentage of my pension up front to guarantee she is provided for in the event of my passing.
The County has consistently said "NO! You Can't Have it". We would happily pay the difference that Police and Fire pay. That difference is 0.75%
The grass is always greener I reckon.
