Message Board Closed
Posted
On: Apr 23, 2008 (14:37:49)
After careful consideration and discussion with the executive board it was determined that it would be in the best interest of Local 858 to remove the message board from the website. This was done because Local 858 does not have the resources to constantly monitor the message board for content and to ensure that statements posted could be construed as attacks on fellow members or create liability. Such comments would not be consistent with the preamble of the constitution and by-laws of the union.

Local 858 To Ask FPPA Questions
Updated
On: Apr 09, 2008 (05:12:00)
A motion to ask questions of the FPPA was recently passed at the Union Meeting. Local 858 will ask specific questions of the FPPA that were raised by some members hired before 1988. The questions will examine funding at the beginning of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan and some additional questions about early actions and expenses will be posed with legal help from Local 858's attorney. The affected group is asking these questions to ensure that they were given the proper levels of benefits and has stated on the Union floor that in no way do they want to jeopardize the pension benefits of their fellow brother and sister fire fighters.
