  IMPORTANT!

If you are scheduled for a grievance or disciplinary hearing, notify the Union A.S.A.P.  Fire Administration DOES NOT notify us of upcoming hearings. It is ultimately YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let us know and provide us with all appropriate documents as soon as possible so that your Union can properly represent you. 

IMPORTANT !

This is to remind everyone that the appropriate paperwork needs be filled out  when you have someone riding for you.

Please contact the Union if building repairs are not being completed in timely fashion.

Dear Members of NFF & FSEA Local 140:

FYI

We had a very productive meeting with Deputy Mayor Greg Hinote today Friday (4/25) regarding issues on rollbacks and layoffs. As I stated in the letter sent by mail the other day please be patient as we do not expect an immediate response from the Mayor's office. We discussed several viable options for consideration and the Mayor's office may come up with an option of their own. They are distraught as we are over  layoffs and rollbacks. We will keep you informed on any information we receive.

 Thanks and be safe

Fraternally,

 _Doug________________
