2008 IAFF Convention
Rodney Jordan, Duane Dixon, Brent Berry, and I recently returned from the IAFF Convention in Las Vegas. In case you were wondering, the Convention is a "Business Meeting" of sorts. We vote on resolutions which set forth the business for the next two years as well as beyond. If you would like to view video and resolutions, check out the IAFF website.
Rodney and I were pleasantly surprised to see that one of Local 1132's historic images was used as the banner for the convention. As you can see in the picture, Steamer #2 sitting in front of Station 9 was picked as the main centerpiece for the convention and could be seen all over the Exhibit hall. This image was one of many sent in to the IAFF for the History Project. The IAFF also used several images for the IAFF History Project which was unveiled a couple of years ago.

Wow, glad to see my money is going for something we can really use!! Not really.
Union officers going to Vegas- $5,000
Union sticker- $2
Everyone's raise for the year- $12.50
Going to city hall with the same t-shirts on and getting nothing we asked for- PRICELESS
You probably hid at home while everyone else did the work for you.
No, I was at the meeting but was not delusional enough to think it would actually make a difference.
regardless of results rett and rodney due work their butts off. plus they put their necks out along way
I'll give Rhett credit- he does put his neck out and voices his (our) opinion without fear of retaliation. Commendable to say the least. Rodney "dont do shit" is about the only way I can put it.
