This week, we continued mediation with the County on the COVID vaccine mandate. Mediation is slow going but we are still continuing to move toward a path for exemptions and accommodations. Mediation is confidential, but we will continue to update you when we have more information to share. While this fight goes on at the bargaining table, we still have our members out there fighting every day to protect the public, just as they have been for the past two years. Our members protected the communities of Los Angeles when there was no vaccine, putting their families and themselves at risk. Thank you for maintaining solidarity as your Union Board continues to work on behalf of all members.
Peer Support Training at Local 1014's Union Hall
Earlier this week, Local 1014 hosted Peer Support Training at the Union Hall. This week, we added 45 outstanding new peers to our team. We are proud to say that we now have over 200 IAFF-trained Peers Support Members on our team making it the largest team in the nation!
Special thank you to our Peer Support Coordinator Scott Ross and our Mental Health Clinician Dr. Steve Froehlich for continuing to drive excellence in our Peer Program and expand our resources for the benefit of our members, families, and all in the fire service. |

This year, in preparation for our upcoming 48-96 Trial Shift Schedule Change, we will be printing a one-year calendar with the Kelly Shift Schedule on one side and the 48-96 Shift Schedule on the other side. While we continue to push for the implementation for the trial, we want to be sure you and your families have the tools you need to plan for next year.
Our members will be receiving the following calendars:
- Active Members – Two (2) large 56-hour shift calendars
- Dispatchers – Two (2) large Dispatch Schedule Calendars
- Retired Members – One (1) large 56-hour calendar
We expect the calendars to arrive early next year. Until then, you can download a printable copy of the calendars on the 1014 website. Following the one-year trial, we will resume printing two-year calendars for all members. |

Local 1014 Keeping Our Local Elected Officials Engaged |
|
|
One of the most critical things your Local 1014 Executive Board does for our members and our profession is to engage in political action on behalf of our interests. But political action is not always about elections, it is also about keeping our local elected officials from every level of government engaged with our issues and our needs.
Vice President Kurt Kobler met with Assemblymember Phillip Chen (R) this week to discuss the ongoing needs of our members at the state level. Assemblymember Chen is one of the champions for our Firefighters and our profession as we continue to fight for more resources for LA County. Thank you Assemblymember Chen for all you do to help our members and their families.
