I guess Florida is different...in Texas, all deputies are employed at the behest of the sheriff or constable. Both are elected positions. So the sheriff or constable can fire any deputy at any time. (Including the election of a new one, although this is rare now days.)

Which is exactly why so many people dislike unions.

"We don't care if our member is an incompetent loser who sat around with his thumb up his butt while children died. We gotta protect our (and by our, we mean Union reps and leadership, not the workers) phony baloney jobs".

In Ohio I think any one with the rank of Captain or above is employed at will by the Sheriff. Deputies and Sergeants are union.
