Please clarify the Montgomery County police piece. The council did not prevent the police from collective bargaining, i.e., demanding certain wage and benefit changes. They prevented the police from engaging in effects bargaining. That is, the Council said that the police couldn't bargain over a responsibility of the job. A good example of what was at stake was whether officers were required to regularly check and respond to e-mails. There is an important difference between effects bargaining and traditional collective bargaining.
