VPFF Statement on Military Survivors and Dependent Education Program: "Our brave men and women in the fire service have served their communities proudly and their families have sacrificed immensely. They deserve these education benefits."
We agree! Portsmouth firefighters and paramedics stand in solidarity with @IAFFLocal2924
There are no "cons" when it comes to collective bargaining.
Giving @IAFFLocal2924 a voice at the table makes Virginia Beach safer for residents, visitors, and the fire fighters and emergency medical workers who answer the call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. #solidarity #1u

A good paying union job with benefits is what helped lift me up from a teenage mother to a college graduate with BS & MA degrees to a successful businesswoman and now State Senator. So let it be known; if labor and workers aren't at the table l am not interested in your proposal.

With the 2024 session now underway, I’m grateful for the trust that my colleagues have placed in me.
Let’s meet this historic moment, and set our sights on moving Virginia forward.

Terminated Hampton, VA #firefighter Eric Knick tells @WTKR3 the city is using him as a scapegoat. Now Knick - with the help of @IAFFOfficial - is fighting back. brnw.ch/21wCpy6
We stand with our Brother in @HpfaLocal2450!!
Eric Knick, a @HpfaLocal2450 #firefighter, saved lives Oct. 21, 2022 as he swiftly responded to a Hampton, VA apartment fire. Rather than praise him, the @cityofhampton fired him. @IAFFOfficial is fighting to get him back to work. brnw.ch/21wCa9R

Washington, DC @iaff36 member Myisha Richards returned to work after a violent, unprovoked attack left her battered on the job. #IAFF Center of Excellence helped her recover. brnw.ch/21wBICQ

Great to be with @BrewerForVa, @BillDeSteph, @TheVaPFF, and @VirginiaBeachFD to present the 2023 bill signed by @GovernorVA that expanded cancer coverage for Virginia firefighters to Sara and Gus Chiaverotti. The piece was designed and built by VB’s own, Valhalla’s Forge.

It saddens 𝘮𝘦 that Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka hasn’t taken time out of his busy schedule to call the Newark Firefighters Union since two firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice, unlike Governor Murphy and President Biden, who both found the time. (1/3)

All workers deserve fair pay, good benefits, and safe working conditions. Labor stands with the @Teamsters in their fight for a fair contract, and your @IAFFofficial brothers & sisters are with you!
I wouldn’t bet against a Boston guy like @TeamsterSOB. Do the right thing, @UPS.
