I need your help!
Last night, the House of Representatives passed our top legislative priority, national collective bargaining, as part of a supplemental appropriation bill. The issue now goes to the U.S. Senate, which is expected to consider our proposal in July either as part of this supplemental appropriation or as a free-standing bill.
We need every IAFF member to ask their senators to stand with America's fire fighters. It is imperative that you contact both your senators and encourage them to support the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act when it comes for a vote in July.
Our opponents are working hard against us. The anti-labor National Right to Work Committee and city managers are working the phones. We MUST respond. Tell your senators that America's fire fighters and police officers deserve a voice in the workplace. Ask them to support their first responders and vote for our bill.

Or, simply call the Senate switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be transferred to your senator's office.
Thank you. Together, we will win this vital issue.
Fraternally,
Harold A. Schaitberger
General President
