PROTECT YOUR HEALTH AND ENSURE YOU LIVE TO BE THERE WITH YOUR FAMILIES…SIGN OUR PETITION AND HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD…FIREFIGHTERS AND FAMILIES AND FRIENDS CAN SIGN AS WELL… PLEASE DO IT NOW…

Brothers, Sisters and your families:

I write to you with our first piece of very heavy and real life safety business affecting our membership.  Your Executive Board has been meeting and putting together a very effective plan of action regarding not only structure of the Union, but goals, objectives and priorities for the year and the term. 

I am very encouraged by the passion and desire to get a renewed “Team of Ten” approach going again and also a set of priorities including of course negotiating a new contract which will take every bit of our collective energy to accomplish. I will be putting out details on our Organizational Structure and Duties and Assignments with such goals and objectives with plans, but before us right now is our first major challenge of significant weight. 

As you are aware, the County and LA RICS are attempting to permanently build cell phone and radio tower antennas at our stations and they tell us it’s safe and all good.  We are engaged in a fight with very powerful and strong interests in a David vs. Goliath way to fight off the heavy weight interests that seek to put money over our health.  We have all of the information on the risks and the issues involving this threat which is in motion.  We need our entire membership to unite and commit to help fight and to stop the towers.  This is similar to Commerce in the day… Local 1014 United to defeat a threat that everyone said was an unwinnable fight, and we won.  We can win this also, but it will require that same alliance of all members, our families and partners who will stand with us. 

Do your part and please log on to our petition site and click to support the effort as we seek resolution with the County of Los Angeles.  I have asked the Fire Chief to do the same and our families can stand with us and help also.  Forward this message to all of your networks and help send our message to the officials with authority to work with us to find solutions to protect our radio systems without endangering our health.

Thank you in advance on behalf of the entire Local 1014 Executive Board,

Dave Gillotte, President
Los Angeles County Firefighters Local 1014
