October 1 is the beginning of the @IAFFofficial fiscal year. No better way to start than with a new milestone for membership in our Union. 351,535 members across 3536 Local affiliates!
Blades, putting in work!
Great event at the Seach school with the Bruins , BCBS,National grid, and of course the students and teachers who made us proud to be serving Weymouth!

DiZoglio says the odd bedfellows of the left and right that are backing the ballot question are united in an understanding of how power works. “When you’re taking on a powerful establishment such as it exists up here, you cannot do that in a silo.” #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/polit…

💪 Did you know 71% of Americans support unions marking the highest level of support in 60 years? This fact and many more were just released in a report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
You can read more highlights from the report here: brnw.ch/21wGsS6

A brief update on the injured Falmouth Firefighters Local 1397 member - @FalmouthL1397
On Dec. 6, 1976, a call came for a room fire at the 3A Motel. Weymouth Firefighter Robert Clark was running the pump on Engine 1 when he helped the men “work the line” at the fire. He fell in a heap, suffering a fatal heart attack . Please remember him and his family today.

VOTE tommorow! We support those who support us and our issues. The Town is faced with mounting challenges for public safety, we need to support those who recognize that.

Thanks again to Bernie Macauley for again going by Josh's memorial on the anniversary. I never have to ask, he is just there.
