For nearly three decades, Brother Fennell served the IAFF as a District VP. His death is a loss to our Union, but his strong legacy as a true trade unionist will continue. May perpetual light shine on Brother Fennell, his family, and all who were touched by his leadership.

James “Jim” Fennell, who was known for his unwavering dedication to the IAFF and its members, died June 13. The 15th District Vice President Emeritus was 81.

As IAFF fire fighters we know that our voice is strongest through the collective bargaining process and with a fairly negotiated contract.

I was proud to join Washington DC Local 36 fire fighters today to call on their city council to sign their contract.

They have been two years without an agreement and now is the time for the city to step up and do what’s right. Now is the time to agree to fair wages that keep up with the rising cost of living so that these fire fighters can live in the communities that they work in. Now is the time for council to agree to the contract.

Collective bargaining is our voice for change. It’s our voice to better and safer working conditions that impact fire fighters and the public too. To try to repeal that right will not make the city safer, if anything it jeopardizes safety in countless ways.

We stand with Local 4246 against this dangerous idea. .

Bob was a great fire fighter and true trade unionist. His death is a loss to our entire IAFF community. May perpetual light shine on Brother Kilduff, his family, Local 718, and the PFFM.

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.

Virginia fire fighters and other public employees deserve better.

Governor Spanberger lost the opportunity to make a difference for thousands of fire fighter families.

Fire fighters support candidates who support our issues and we remember those who don’t, especially after pledging to do so.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has vetoed legislation to expand collective bargaining to public workers – including fire fighters and emergency medical
