Welcome
The New Orleans Fire Fighters Association, founded in 1939, is a Labor Union affiliated with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF Local 632) and the AFL-CIO.
According to our Constitution “The object of this Local shall always be, first and primary, dedicated to raising the dignity of our profession. It shall promote by proper means the material and intellectual welfare of all its members. Finally, this Local shall continually strive for the raising of both the working and living standards of al l its members.”
We are the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for Fire Fighters, Fire Operators, Fire Captains and Fire Prevention Inspector at the New Orleans Fire Department.
In accordance with our Object, we are always accepting donations to improve the welfare of our members and their families through our Benevolent Fund, Health and Safety programs, and Education Initiatives. Please consider giving to these causes.
After more than a decade of work by the IAFF, Locals 854 and 94 in New York City and many others to finally get The Never Forget The Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has placed a hold on the bill, preventing it from advancing to the floor of the Senate for a vote and further delaying the help that 9/11 responders need and deserve.
The U.S House passed the bill last week by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 402-12.
Call Senator Lee's office and demand that he quit playing games with the lives of 9/11 first responders on the line. Demand that Senator Lee lift his hold immediately on the 9/11 VCF Permanent Authorization Act.
Senator Lee’s Washington, DC, office: (202) 224-5444
Senator Lee’s Salt Lake City office: (801) 524-5933
The bill has support in the Senate on both sides of the aisle with 72 cosponsors.
I just called. An aide said the Senator expects it to be fully funded, and he is just trying to prevent fraud. I advised him that the thing his position is most accomplishing is infuriating First Responders and citizens across the country.
Thank you brothers for the support
done
What is the reason for him to hold up the vote?
This is horrible
As a reminder, there is now in place a voluntary evacuation outside of the levee system in New Orleans. 8pm is the witching hour - you need to be in the place you plan on riding this storm out.
