    Sisters and Brothers, The administration has proposed retitling the current CARES Captain position to Medical Services Captain. This change comes out of discussions about strengthening our EMS programs and providing better support for CARES and our RN/SW bargaining unit.


    Local 1747 Membership Update – July 3, 2025    Honoring Brother Minneman    As you know, Brother Brandon Minneman passed from occupational cancer, and his memorial is set for Friday, July 18. I’m asking each of you if you can be there, please make it a priority to show up.


    November 2024 Member Update Thank you for taking the time to read the November Member Update. Below are some topics discussed at our last union meeting. For more information, please reach out to any Eboard member. We look forward to seeing you at our next union meeting, December 5th at 6pm, virtually and at station 46.  Please ask your sisters and brothers to read these updates.


    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.
