Congrats Shaun Sullivan!! We are so proud of you!

As contract negotiations between the Fire Commission and the Firefighters Union hit a standstill over salaries and benefits, a critical issue remains ignored: the devastating lack of affordable local housing.

When our members are priced out of the very neighborhoods they serve, it isn't just a labor dispute—it's a threat to community stability and public safety.

This timely new article pulls back the curtain on how Portsmouth's skyrocketing housing market and gridlocked city negotiations are putting an impossible squeeze on our members.

If we want a city where firefighters, police officers, teachers, and healthcare workers can actually afford to live, we need to start connecting the dots.

We call on the city to return to the bargaining table and agree to a fair contract.

We need an agreement that not only keeps our salary and benefits package competitive, but also gives our members a genuine opportunity to at least live within a reasonable commuting distance of the community they serve!

Many Portsmouth firefighters, teachers, police and other employees commute up to two hours to work in the city, where housing prices are high.

Happy Labor Day from Portsmouth Firefighters IAFF Local 1313! Today, we join working families across the country in celebrating the labor movement—the historic fight that brought Americans the eight-hour workday, safer working conditions, and the very weekend many are enjoying today.

As firefighters, our dedication to this community doesn’t take a holiday. We are proud to answer the calls and protect Portsmouth 24/7/365. But true solidarity means standing up for fair labor standards right here at home.

While we celebrate the victories of workers past, we are reminded of our current reality: Portsmouth Firefighters have been working without a contract since July 1. We love serving this city, and we hope the Portsmouth City Council remembers that actions speak louder than holiday resolutions. A safe city starts with a respected workforce. It’s time to value the men and women who put it all on the line and settle a fair contract.

Please contact them if you support us getting a fair contract so that we may continue serving you!

Enjoy the holiday, stay safe!
