Unions deliver better wages, benefits, and working conditions for members. ‘Right to Work’ laws are misnomers, meant to undermine workers’ rights, voice, and value. Good on Michigan for seeing through Right to Work for less! abcnews.go.com/Business/wireS…

My deepest prayers are with our IAFF Local 2 brother Walter Stewart during these unimaginably difficult days.

Needless exposure to toxic 'forever chemicals' in our bunker gear has made too many of our brothers and sisters sick. For them, and for future fire fighters, we will pursue every avenue to get PFAS out of our protective gear.

Every day in Canada and the U.S., fire fighters wear gear laden with toxic #PFAS forever chemicals. It is killing us. The International Association of Fire Fighters is fighting to change that and hold accountable those who have let these carcinogens stay in our PPE. ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=2…

It was a pleasure spending the day with State Reps @khanna_rachel and Corey P. Paris in Hartford for the UPFFACt International Association of Fire Fighters Fire Ops 101 program. The program aims to educate decision makers about the capabilities and needs of fire fighters serving CT communities. @IAFFLeg

State reps @khanna_rachel and Hector Arzeno at Connecticut Fire Fighters PAC event in Stamford. Khanna and Arzeno were sponsors of our recently passed occupational cancer coverage bill. It would not have been possible without the tremendous support we received from legislators all across CT.

As we observe Cancer Survivors Month, we recognize the #IAFF members who have beat cancer – and those who are courageously fighting it!

This #FathersDay, we recognize the extraordinary sacrifices of dads on and off the job whose bravery inspires us all. 👨‍🚒❤️

Just wait until I tell you about the harmful gasses that fire fighters are exposed to every day… and then still have to fight for treatment to battle the diseases those toxic gasses cause.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters in #Newark following the line-of-duty deaths of Augusto "Augie" Acabou and Wayne "Bear" Brooks last night. May we always honor their sacrifice. fal.cn/3zGCQ

“If we can make sure fire fighters get tested early for multiple types of cancer, countless lives will be saved,” said Edward A. Kelly. fal.cn/3zIAx

Together with the Stamford Police Association we are pleased to announce the endorsement of four candidates for the Stamford Board of Representatives.  These candidates actively support our firefighters and police officers and will make Stamford’s public safety a priority.

The Stamford Fire Department is running a toy drive this month at all their fire houses. I dropped some toys off today and stopped by to say thanks to the men and women who protect Stamford every day.
