L644 would like to congratulate Brother Dave Wordekemper on his long and distinguished career with the NPFFA as a member and Eastern District Vice President.
Throughout his years of service, Dave has been a tireless advocate for firefighters across Nebraska, dedicating countless hours to improving safety, working conditions, wages, benefits, and the overall well-being of our members. His leadership, commitment, and passion for the labor movement have left a lasting impact on our profession and on those who have had the privilege to work alongside him.
Dave's commitment to public service extends beyond the fire service. As a Nebraska State Senator, he has continued to serve the people of Nebraska with the same dedication, integrity, and work ethic that have defined his union and firefighting career. His unique perspective as a firefighter and labor leader has helped bring the voices of working families and first responders to the halls of government.
On behalf of the members of Local 644, we thank Brother Wordekemper for his many years of service, leadership, and dedication to the firefighters of Nebraska. While he may be retiring from his role with the NPFFA, his continued service to our state and its citizens remains an inspiration to many.
Congratulations, Brother Dave, and thank you for everything you have done—and continue to do—for our members, our profession, and the State of Nebraska.
