⛔️ REQUEST TO STAND DOWN ⛔️
The Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut is asking all affiliated members outside of the Hamden Professional Firefighters Local 2687 refrain from applying for the recently posted Deputy Fire Marshal position in the Town of Hamden, Connecticut.
This position is a union bargaining unit position represented by IAFF Local 2687.
According to Local 2687, the position should be filled internally by a member of the Local, consistent with the collective bargaining agreement. Despite the Local’s efforts to resolve this matter, the Hamden Fire Department has posted the position, and Local 2687 has filed a Municipal Prohibited Practice complaint.
We are asking our brothers and sisters across Connecticut to stand in solidarity with Hamden Local 2687 by not applying for this position while the Local works to resolve this dispute.
