|
The Thoughts and Prayers of the membership of I.A.F.F. Local 3059 are with our union brother and sisters of Teamsters Local 1035 in their time of grief & loss.
In Memoriam
Seven Teamsters Killed in Connecticut Rampage
Teamsters nationwide are mourning the senseless loss of lives at a Teamster facility in Manchester, Conn. who died in a tragic workplace shooting. Seven of the victims were Teamsters.
Nine people were killed and two injured during the shooting rampage at the beer distributorship.
Among the deceased is Bryan Cirigliano, 51, President of Teamsters Local 1035 in South Windsor. The other Teamsters killed were also members of Local 1035 and employees of Hartford Distributors, Inc.
“My heart goes out to the victims and their families at this tragic time,” said Jim Hoffa, Teamsters General President. “Although no words can ease this terrible pain and loss, I hope those involved are able to take comfort in knowing that 1.4 million men and women are standing with them now and always.”

Bridgeport Local 834 L.O.D.D.
|
|
Bridgeport Local 834 I.A.F.F. has lost two brothers on 7/24/10. While fighting a fire in a multi-family dwelling, two of the IAFF's bravest paid the ultimate sacrifice. Lt. Steven Velazquez 40, a 16 year veteran and Firefighter Michel Baik 49, a 2 year veteran from Ladder 11 in BFD perished while battling a fire in a three story multi-family dwelling. To the brothers and sisters of Bridgeport our prayers and thoughts are with you. All too often our members make extreme sacrifices for those we are sworn to serve and protect.
Losing one of our own brings the dangers of our jobs into the forefront. As we are aware at Local 3059, a LODD (Line of Duty Death) is never forgotten and stays with us our entire lives. To the families left behind, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Both of the brothers had young children, Velazquez has two children, and Blaik three.. The following days will test their faith.
Stay safe out there brothers and sisters

CORRECT INFO REGARDING THOMPSONVILLE CONTRACT IMPASS
|
Q. DID THE FIREFIGHTERS REFUSE TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH?
A. NO, THE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE CONTINUED TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH. THEY CONTINUE TO OFFER CONCESSIONS AND ASSIST WITH MANY GIVEBACKS OVER THE CURRENT CONTRACT AND HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH WHAT COULD AMMOUNT TO OVER $100,000 IN SAVINGS. THE DISTRICT DECLARED THE IMPASS, FIREFIGHTERS ARE STILL WILIING TO BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH
Q. IN THE J.I. IT STATED THE FIREFIGHTERS RECEIVE TIME AND A HALF FOR OVERTIME WORKED. IS THIS TRUE?
A. NO, THE FIREFIGHTERS RECEIVE STRAIGHT TIME PAY FOR OVERTIME WORKED PER THE UNION CONTRACT. THEY NEVER HAVE RECIEVED TIME AND A HALF PAY GRANTED IN ANY CONTRACT FOR SHIFT WORK. FIREFIGHTERS WORK A WEEK OF 2 10 HOUR DAYS AND 2 14 NIGHTS. THIS 48 HOUR WEEK IS PAID AT 42 HOURS AND IS AVERAGED OVER A 28 DAY CYCLE. PER FEDERAL LABOR LAW IF A FIREFIGHTER WORKS MORE THAN 212 HOURS IN A 28 CYCLE THEY WILL RECEIVE TIME AND A HALF PAY FOR ONLY THOSE HOURS WORKED IN EXCESS OF 212 HOURS. ALSO ANY TIME TAKEN OFF, SUCH AS SICK TIME OR VACATION DOES NOT COUNT FOR THE 212 HOUR TOTAL. MEANING A FIREFIGHTER WOULD HAVE TO AVERAGE A 53 HOUR WORK WEEK & TAKE NO TIME OFF SICK OR OTHERWISE, BEFORE THEY COULD POSSIBLY BEGIN RECEIVING TIME AND A HALF FOR ANY OVERTIME WORKED THAT CYCLE IN EXCESS OF 212 HOURS. IF A FIREFIGHTER WORKS A PRIVATE JOB FOR A PRIVATE ENTITY, SUCH AS A BUSINESS WITH A REQUIRED SPRINKLER SYSTEM THAT IS OUT OF SERVICE, THEY ARE PAID AT A RATE OF TIME AND A HALF. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.
Q. IT HAS BEEN SAID AT DISTRICT MEETINGS THE FIREFIGHTERS WILL DO NOTHING WITHOUT GETTING PAID. IS THIS TRUE?
A. NO. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SURF THIS SITE TO SEE SOME OF THE MANY THINGS THE FIREFIGHTERS DO ON THIER OWN TIME FOR THE COMMUNITY. FIREFIGHTERS CARE FOR VETERAN MONUMENTS, DONATE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR TO CIVIC GROUPS AND RAISE TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE EACH YEAR. LOCAL 3059 FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALWAYS GIVING OF THEIR FREE TIME TO HELP THE COMMUNITY THEY PROTECT WITH THEIR VERY LIVES EACH DAY.

-A NATION'S STRENGTH
Not gold, but only man can make
A people great and strong;
Men who. for truth and honor's sake.
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly--
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I.A.F.F. Firefighter Code of Ethics
Updated
On: Apr 06, 2010 (22:34:00)
As a fire fighter and a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 3059, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard and preserve life and property against the elements of fire and disaster; and maintain a proficiency in the art and science of fire engineering.
I will uphold the standards of my profession, continually search for new and improved methods and disseminate and share my knowledge and skills with my contemporaries and descendants.
I will never allow personal feelings, or danger to self, to deter me from my responsibilities as a fire fighter.
I will, at all times, respect the property and rights of all men, the laws of my community and my country, and the chosen way of life of my fellow citizens.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the fire service. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession—saving of a life, fire prevention and fire suppression.
