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!

💪 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

Lt. Costantino was a Navy veteran of World War II and a paratrooper in Korea. He was 41 years old and left a wife and four children. He had two sons who joined the Fire Department. #100ClubMass #Hero #LODD #RIP

From better pay to safer working conditions, #ItsBetterInAUnion.
Happy Labor Day to my brothers and sisters in the @IAFFofficial — and all those fighting for workers and their families.
💪 As you celebrate the #LaborDay holiday, remember #unions made it possible to fight for better wages, working conditions and benefits.#ItsBetterInAUnion

Since cancer is the leading cause of occupational deaths for firefighters, screening is critical. And while there are more than 100 known types of cancer, only five types of cancer have available screening to detect it earlier. But that’s set to change.

Brother James Muller, from #IAFF Local 5271 in Irmo, SC, made the ultimate sacrifice today, responding to a multi-alarm, mutual aid fire in Columbia. His family, friends, and brothers and sisters are in my thoughts and prayers.
The @RichlandSC Coroner has confirmed that one firefighter with @IrmoFire died as a result of the injuries he suffered in this fire. He was one of 7 total firefighters that went to area hospitals for injuries — 5 from @ColaFire & 2 from Irmo FD.

Asking for a friend:
How long does it take for a state official to get back to a local official about what her entire district is being exposed to? @MassDEP

A reminder to Senator Mullin (whose net worth, by the way, is over $30 million) and to all the greedy CEOs and their mouthpieces in Congress:
You come after labor, we come after you.
@TeamsterSOB #1u #PassThePROAct
We're in a new era of labor.
Teamsters President @TeamsterSOB refuses to take disrespect from Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin in front of the Senate today.
Because unions are ready to fight back. via @People4Bernie

On #PresidentsDay2023, we take a moment to remember JFK and his fervent support of collective bargaining, worker’s rights and organized labor.

All workers deserve a #union, from your local fire fighters to your neighborhood @Starbucks baristas. Want to protect your rights on the job? "Join a union." Any CEO or company standing in the way of working people organizing needs to answer for those union-busting actions.

When taxpayers question what they are paying for when asked to fund public safety contracts, point them to this story and all of the stories that post about the ways firefighters put their lives above others. Strong work @Brockton_Fire! m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…
