It’s a shame ⁦BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee⁩ and ⁦Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare⁩ couldn’t reach an agreement. It may be time for ⁦Memphis City Council⁩ to step in and re-evaluate the city’s relationship with ⁦BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee⁩. ⁦Councilman Chase Carlisle⁩ ⁦Ford Canale⁩ wreg.com/news/local/met…

Congratulations to our Sisters and Brothers of the Fort Worth NewsGuild ☀️! It is great to see a victory and another union contract here in Fort Worth. As members of labor we should be free to exercise our rights to collectively bargain a labor agreement that is fair to both parties.

A union isn't an outside organization that comes in to help you, a union is YOU and your colleagues coming together to empower each other as a collective. And trust me, that's way more powerful.

Today we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and remember the impact he made on our country!

The #IAFF was chartered on this date – Feb. 28, 1918 when 36 delegates from 24 local fire fighter unions convened in Washington, D.C. for our union’s first convention. Today, we’re proudly 334,000 strong across more than 3,500 locals.

100% agree with Rep. Patterson on this. Our first responders protect us when we are at our weakest and TML will not do the same for them. This travesty will end this session. I stand with our first responders and not with TML.

BREAKING: THE MICHIGAN STATE SENATE HAS VOTED TO REPEAL “RIGHT TO WORK.” 👏 🎉

The members of the FWfirefighters want to provide quality services to the residents we are sworn to serve and protect. Profits should not be the motivating factor for the availability of ambulance services in Fort Worth. Response times matter!

Early voting has begun. Make sure to get out and let your voice be heard! Our endorsements are a reflection of a process to determine the candidates that we think best support our fire fighter issues. We hope you will support them!
