🔥 IAFF WINS FOR ATLANTA FIREFIGHTERS 🔥
Two major victories for Atlanta firefighters and their families:
👨👩👧👦 12 WEEKS OF PAID FAMILY LEAVE
Our members will now have expanded paid family leave, giving firefighters more time to care for and bond with their families when it matters most.
👏 A special thank you to Councilmember Matt Westmoreland for sponsoring the paid family leave legislation and supporting Atlanta firefighters and their families.
🩺 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL PHYSICALS + CANCER SCREENINGS
Atlanta firefighters will also receive comprehensive annual physicals that include cancer screenings—an important step toward early detection and protecting members from the long-term health effects of occupational exposures. 🎗️
These victories are the result of sustained IAFF advocacy and an Executive Board committed to improving the health, safety, and quality of life of our members.
💪 Thank you to our Executive Board for putting in the work, staying engaged, and continuing to move these priorities forward.
This is what strong union representation looks like.
🔥 IAFF advocacy delivers results.
