“TIME TO LEAD”
ONE BADGE - ONE BEAR - ONE SHARE
Well by now everyone has had some time to soak in EA-90 attempting to address the “County of Los Angeles Auditor-Controller’s Report”, and now EA-111 with the embedded video message and subsequent press release from the Fire Chief. It would be an understatement to say that the membership is not only disappointed, but angry and frustrated regarding the message sent to the rank and file safety members who do such great work day in and day out. It is with disbelief that a member of the Executive Staff and the Chief Deputy of Business Operations during the time of this mess would declare boldly “Not on My Watch”.
It is further inconceivable that statements about levels of discipline up to and including discharge would be levied without the due process and full weighting and context of the facts. Taken direct to the media this can only be characterized as an attempt to protect those in charge of the very system that gives rise to the allegations. While we are all angry and dismayed at the actions of the Department and the Chief, the facts will be brought out, and we are calling for further investigation into the people in charge up to and including the Fire Chief and his staff. Representation of members continues in full force.
Use your energy and anger and focus with us on the here and now to fight to prevail on the Cell Antenna Fight. As you have seen, we have been engaged in the fight of our lives to eliminate the Health Hazard from Cell Antennas which are being installed in our Fire Stations. The Fire Chief and his Staff have been supportive of the building of these towers with little regard to the serving personnel of Local 1014 and all other County Fire workers and the Citizens we are sworn to protect.
We need you to join your Executive Board, Citizens from our communities, workers from all walks of Labor, and elected officials from our communities to send a message to the Board of Supervisors and in fact to the FIRE CHIEF to defeat these cell towers. This will be a defining moment for not only this item, but all items going forward in dealing with the Fire Chief and his actions.
C - SHIFT ON DUTY!
B - SHIFT GOING OFF
A - SHIFT ON 4 DAYER
Dont want to go? See if you can stand by for someone who wold like to attend.

OUR FUTURE BEGINS HERE!

We need to help the citizens send a message to the BOS that this has to stop.
