The fact that the chief doesn't realize that 40% of nonfire employees are redcarded, as in have fire qualifications, and also respond to all risk events like hurricanes is bonkers.

The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) mourns the tragic loss of three federal wildland firefighters who died in the line of duty, while responding to the Knowles and Gore Fires along the Colorado-Utah border. The fires, now merged, are the Snyder Mesa Fire.

The background is a mountain meadow from the adjacent forest to the fire. There is a lake in the background and peaks in the far distance. White text reads: The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) mourns the tragic loss of three federal wildland firefighters who died in the line of duty, while responding to the Knowles and Gore Fires (both now the Snyder Mesa Fire). We also extend our heartfelt wishes for the full recovery of the two firefighters injured in the line of duty. Our hearts are with their family, friends and coworkers.

Please make time to respond www.sniderlaw.com/current_case...

Yes we really have a lawsuit going with Snider& associates. The lawsuit has been progressing since 2017. The original grievance alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Title V (FEPA), among other violations.

The case applies to all fs employees who have felt pressured to work through lunch or late without pay. So, most of us.
