Members of Local 1747,?  ?  Thank you for your understanding with the Eboard having to cancel our August meeting. Per the Union By-Laws, we must have a quorum of the Eboard to conduct a meeting and we were short of the majority that was needed.?Our next meeting will be 9/5 at station 46, starting at 0900. See you there.

Sisters & Brothers, Since December, we've discussed the administration's proposal for a one-year pilot with TriMed, called the Fire Alliance, to provide patient transport. This model aims to generate revenue to fund the service and hire more firefighters, increasing aid cars and reducing call volume on our rigs.

Members of Local 1747,  Thank you for your understanding with the Eboard having to cancel our March meeting. We have our negotiations team currently at specialized training specific for public sector collective bargaining, another out of the USA and three in training classes for the RFA.
