Happy Thanksgiving
Local 1014 Brothers and Sisters

Simply, it is time for us all to take a breath, reflect and appreciate the blessings we have. Our Membership is the heart and soul of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and we have been working hard and getting it done like the true professionals we are. We are the best in the west not by accident, but rather because our tradition and passion for what we do fuels our work unlike anywhere else in the Nation. We are trained to think on the fly and make it happen and do more with less and do it well. We are a proud team and rightly so.

Similarly, we have all worked very hard in our Union world to land an extremely rich contract for the next 3 years. Local 1014 membership has come together time after time to stand in solidarity and protect and advance our job in every way possible. It is clear we have a few challenges with management and their work product in payroll, entry level and promotional testing, staffing and hiring new firefighters for relief of recalls. We know we have much to do before the year ends and we will be back at it next week finishing the fringe contract and auditing payroll to ensure all raises, bonuses and retro pay have been correctly payed. However, take today and this weekend to pause and count our blessings. Give thanks for all we have, give thanks to all who protect our freedom and our Great Country.

Whether you are at home today with your family, or at work with your other family...our family...recognize how fortunate each and every one of us are to be a part of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and Local 1014. Thanks to all for your service and dedication to the job and to the Union. "ONE BADGE, ONE BEAR, ONE SHARE!" Be SAFE and SMART as you celebrate this great Holiday...don't risk your job.

In Thankful Solidarity and Unity,

YOUR Local 1014 Executive Board
