There's nothing that would prohibit giving "at will" employees more secure contracts sometime in the future. Indeed, it's easier to go from "fire at will" to tenure, than from tenure to "fire at will." >From a more global perspective, rates of organization change should vary according to their success rates. I think that it's fair to say that the MPS are not presently very successful and increasing the rate of organizational change may result in significant progress at this point in time. It's certainly reasonable to conclude that the MPS haven't made much progress with the currently staff in the last ten years. Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
