Three Seattle police officers suspended over use of 'gutter language'

Illegal strike: bleak future f
Twelve of the more than 100 Metro Police officers who took part in the illegal strike that blocked the N2 during peak hour in August have been found guilty of misconduct, and three have been cleared of all charges.
The 15 are members of the Independent Municipal and Allied Workers' Union (Imatu).
As Imatu has a collective pre-arbitration agreement with the City of Cape Town, these officers were not part of the parallel disciplinary process being held for the 101 members of the SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu).
Samwu has an interim Labour Court interdict against the city's "mass disciplinary" hearing of its members, and a decision on whether this process will be stopped will be made on Friday.
Anton Steenkamp, who is the presiding officer in both arbitration processes, said in his findings of the Imatu hearings that the suspended Metro Police officers had taken part in a strike that "did not follow the provisions of the Gatherings Act".
