Philadelphia Firefighters’ and Paramedics’ Union Backs Trump, Defies National Union Endorsement of Biden
Breitbart ^ | September 29 2020 | HANNAH BLEAU

The Philadelphia Firefighters’ and Paramedics’ Union broke from the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and “proudly” endorsed President Trump for re-election, citing the overwhelming support for the president among members.

“The Philadelphia Firefighters’ and Paramedics’ Union, Local 22 of the International Association of’ Fire Fighters proudly endorses President Trump for re-election,” the union announced on Tuesday, hours ahead of the first presidential debate.

“The members of Local 22 respectfully break with the undemocratic IAFF endorsement of Joe Biden and pledge our full support to President Donald J. Trump,” President Mike Bresnan said in a statement, explaining that IAFF’s endorsement of Biden was done “without a canvas of local unions and the consideration of the rank and file IAFF membership.”

So the IAFF leaders endorse the Dems as usual against the wishes and interests of the members and finally some local says enough is enough.

Yes, but didn’t you see the Washington Post/ABC poll of PA? Biden is up by nine without campaigning and being obviously senile. The support of Trump by the Phila. firefighters, PA boilermakers and steelworkers unions mean that their members will all vote for Biden.
