I’m a retired firefighter. Most firefighters I know are union members and are pissed that the IAFF has done this and are saying so to leadership.

It is nice that you think that union national leadership cares what union members want, or think, or care about. They don’t.

I’m retired and my son is an active FF. The membership does not support Biden.

This is all part of a quid pro quo. Many municipalities out there are facing bankruptcy, which will result in firefighter layoffs and perhaps even terminated pensions. Biden has no doubt agreed to support Federal bailout packages in exchange for their endorsement.

Since when firefighters unionize? What a joke. It is supposed to be a volunteer militia type job. What next? Not allowing people who are not in a union to own a fire extinguisher?

I’m good friends with Hubby’s union Pres.....which is part of the IAFF. We’ve had this conversation before. When you support Democrats because they’re supposed to be better for workers, they get in office and raise taxes which takes away the raise they just helped you get. How does that help us? Secretly I think he votes Republican but could never just say it.

This is what I suspected and just has to be the case.

I hope you are correct. Alot of people that work hard hat jobs supported Trump in 2016.
