Fire Fighter Unions Under Attack

Updated On: Jul 14, 2008 (13:45:00)

CPFF members are advised not to vote for specific amendments on the upcoming ballot. Amendments 47, 53, & 59 are designed to specifically destroy unions! If that were to happen in Colorado we could expect reduced wages, reduced health care, reduced pensions, and we could expect to lose the ability to address safety issues that deeply impact fire fighters.

DO NOT VOTE FOR AMENDMENTS 47, 53,& 59

Updated On: Jul 14, 2008 (13:46:00)
The IAFF is conducting a survey of issues to ensure that we endorse a candidate for President that will work on issues that our members find important. The IAFF has hired Zogby to conduct the independent survey and as always the endorsement will be based only on issues that are important to fire fighters! The IAFF endorsement is an important one and is well respected. It is never based on political affiliation but only on how the candidate will vote for fire fighter issues.
