Our State and Local Union would like to thank State Senator Darrin Camilleri, State Representative Tulio Liberati (representing northern Southgate), and State Representative Rylee Linting (representing southern Southgate) for meeting with the Southgate Professional Fire Fighters Union President earlier this June. Each elected official took time out of their schedule to discuss critical issues facing our members and citizens. Key topics of discussion included:
SB 319: Fire Fighter Recruitment, Retention, and Safe Staffing
HB 5232: Paid Military Leave for Fire Fighters
HB 5952: PTSD Presumption and Mental Health Protections for First Responders
Upcoming firefighter cancer screenings, equipment needs, and various other critical issues.
This valuable opportunity was made possible through the dedicated advocacy of the Michigan Professional Fire Fighters Union.
Additionally, we would like to extend our gratitude to Representative Rylee Linting for stopping by the station for a tour with our crew following the Heritage Day parade.
