Prayers for the family of FF Kilduff and his Boston brothers and sisters.

Prayers for the family of FF Kilduff and his Boston brothers and sisters.

Robert “BK" Kilduff, Jr. exemplified what it meant to be a union firefighter. BK was passionate about his profession, assigned to Rescue Company 2, and passionate about improving the lives of his fellow brothers and sisters, working as a staff member of the PFFM for the last 15 years.

More than anything else, BK was passionate about being a father. The PFFM sends all of our love and support to both of his children and will stand with Boston Firefighters Local 718 IAFF to ensure they have whatever they need.

Rest easy BK.

🔥 Atlanta firefighters saved the FOX from burning to the ground… twice.

🚨 Yet not once has City Hall fully implemented a real pay study for firefighters.

📧 The truth is coming out.
📊 The real recommendation existed.
🚒 Atlanta firefighters deserved better.

Other employee groups received their recommended salaries.
But not your brave firefighters. How is that fair? Equity?

⚠️ This is the second pay study Atlanta has failed to implement. Worse, the current administration hid the real recommendations from City Council and their own firefighters.

🚒 First to respond.
💔 Last in pay.

Atlanta firefighters didn’t become among the lowest paid by accident.

It was by design.

City officials paid for a compensation study… then hid the consultant’s final recommendation and implemented a lower-paying plan instead.

Now the impact is real:
🚒 Lowest pay ranges
📉 Low morale
🚪 Increasing resignations
⚠️ Staffing shortages growing across the city

Atlanta firefighters risk their lives for this city every day. They deserve honesty. They deserve respect. And they deserve fair pay.

We are asking city council to take action. We need the public to show up at the next finance meeting on May 27 at 1pm.

What should the city do?? How about pay its firefighters a fair competitive wage. It’s absolutely shameful that city leaders hid the compensation consultants real salary recommendations. Instead they implemented a cheaper pay plan but told everyone it was “recommended” by the consultant.

If the AJC wants a real story, here is the title- “Atlanta firefighters are first to respond but last in pay.”

Atlanta, named the No. 1 sports business city in the United States by Sports Business Journal, will soon become the second U.S. city to host an Olympics and World Cup matches.

🌎⚽️ World Cup city…
🍜 Soup cup wages.

Atlanta is preparing for the world stage while firefighters struggle to afford life in the city they protect.

💯We love this city.
💯We just believe the people who run into danger for it deserve better.

💯The citizens deserve transparency

‼️It’s appalling city officials hid the real salary recommendations from an independent consultant. Atlanta firefighters were the only group not to receive their final recommendations from the compensation consultant. That’s not equity. That’s injustice.

🚒 City officials said our current pay plan was recommended by the consultant.

🔎Open records revealed a different story.

📑 City council and the city’s own firefighters were never informed about the real consultant recommendation for Atlanta Fire Rescue.

🔎 Instead, according to internal emails, city officials chose a cheaper pay plan the consultant would not approve.

💯 Firefighters, city council, and citizens deserve transparency, honesty, and fair treatment.

We are asking City Council to take action. ✊

‼️Atlanta Fire Rescue has the lowest pay range in the southeast.

‼️Two more firefighters are quitting this week due to low pay and low morale.

‼️Atlanta can’t have staffing without firefighters.
