HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND!

Local 1014 members will be celebrating Independence Day this weekend and we will be doing it with a little more green in our pockets!

Today July 1 Safety Members of Bargaining Units 601 and 601 "Fire Series" received a 3% raise as bargained for by Local 1014. Additionally our 40 hour post position members will receive another 1.5% for a total of 2.5% in bonus pay for 40 hour assignments.

We also started tiered dispatching today and our Dispatchers in bargaining units 603 and 604 received an additional 1% for a total 7.5% EMD bonus from the previous 5%.

We will be receiving additional pay raises for a total of 7% plus special bonus' over the next 18 months with increases in uniform allowances and more good news to come on our Fringe Benefits with increases in our medical vision and dental contribution that will likely cover the premiums with cash back in pocket for most and if you are a Local 1014 Health and Welfare Trust Member you will see improvements and enhancements to our Excess Dental and Vision Benefits starting in 2017 as well. Stand by for exciting news on this soon.

July 4th is a time to enjoy parades, family, friends, BBQ and fireworks. Whether you go to a sponsored fireworks show or have your own celebration remember to use the safe and sane fireworks.

This summer seems to by flying by already. Enjoy the day and the rest of your summer.

We live in the greatest country in the world. We celebrate the 4th of July as the birth of the United States of America.

On July 4th, 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. This is what established our nation. Our freedom continues to be protected by the men and woman of the United States Military. While you are celebrating our nation please take a moment to reflect on those that are standing a post somewhere to make sure we continue to be a free nation. Remember those that are away from their families this holiday and others, protecting what the Continental Congress envisioned when they drafted the document that our country was founded on. Take a few more minutes to remember those that have given their life to protect our Constitution and keep us safe.

Your 1014 board will be spending our 4th of July either in the station or spending time with our families as well. We wish everyone a happy and safe 4th.

Please remember the busy time of year is now here for us. We have to be ready to answer the call when the phone rings. Be it an overtime, recall or your 1014 board, you have to be ready.

This 4th of July (and every day) to not drink and drive. Drink responsibly. Think before you start. Get a room or use a designated driver. Unfortunately, every holiday we have members that make a poor, life changing decisions. Don't be that person this year.

We would also like to congratulate station 31 on their win at the Bear Classic last weekend.  They beat Local 1014 in the finals.  Again a great event was put on by Alex and Ruben Ortiz (8A).    If you missed it this year we look forward to seeing you next year.  It is one of, if not the, best events put on for the members of the LA County Fire Department.  Free food provided by 1014, games and events for the kids and an all around fun time for everyone.  All proceeds go to our LA County Explorer program.
