Quote:PITTSBURGH —City police officers who believe Beyonce is anti-police are planning to boycott the singer’s May 31 concert at Heinz Field, and the union said it will file a labor complaint if the city forces them to work the secondary employment.
Some police officers are planning to refuse to work the Beyonce concert May 31 at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reporter Marcie Cipriani asked Police Chief Cameron McLay about it on Friday.
After Miami police threatened to boycott Beyonce’s opening ‘Lemonade’ concert, she turned their threat into a profit. Buzz60’s Keri Lumm has details.
FOP President Robert Swartzwelder said Friday that he is not taking a position on Beyonce, and the union is not calling for a boycott; rather, officers are posting on the FOP website saying that no one should work the show.
“If the city compels police officers to work secondary employment again, it is further demonstration that the city is managing its fiscal responsibility on the backs of its police officers,” said Swartzwelder, referring to when he said city officers were forced to work the Pittsburgh Marathon.
