IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The North Kingstown Fire Fighters are in the process of fending off an attack on their work schedule by the North Kingstown Town Council. Having lost the issue in the recent contract arbitration, the Council is moving forward with a unilateral attempt to significantly increase the hours worked by NK firefighters, absent negotiation or compensation for those hours. The NKFFA is determined to oppose this initiative at all costs, as it profoundly and adversely impacts all aspects of our existence as proud firefighters in this community. The family, safety, and financial ramifications of this action are monumental, and for those reasons, the NKFFA is prepared to vigorously challenge this action. It threatens our very existence, as well as our ability to safely provide quality services to our residents.
Raymond Furtado,
President, NKFFA IAFF Local 1651
