Local 865 members lobby Congressman Shuler

Updated On: Mar 26, 2009 (13:42:00)
Longtime 865 member and PFFPNC President David Anders and 865 Vice President Scott Mullins pause for a picture with Congressman Heath Shuler during a lobbying effort on 3/17/09.  Topics included the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act,  FIRE/SAFER Reauthorization,  the Firefighter Fatality Reduction Act, and the Federal Firefighters Fairness Act.  Congressman Shuler has always been a friend to firefighters on our issues and is a stanch supporter of these four.  During the visit to Washington, Anders and Mullins met with numerous North Carolina Congressman, Senator Kay Hagan, and participated in the Alfred K. Whitehead Legislative Conference.  The conference was highlighted by an appearance by Vice President Biden.  To view Vice President Biden's speech and all other speeches from the conference go to IAFF Online and then click on the IAFF Legislative Conference Webcast.

ASI/Crossfit Training

Updated On: Feb 26, 2009 (13:58:00)

ASI is currently sponsoring a CrossFit training program.  See the attached documents or call the facility for more details (828-687-7999).  The trainer also wants to provide rates that would include unlimited training sessions and gym membership.  This would run $25-35 per month for firefighters and police.  FYI, these are the same people who conducted the "Train the Trainer" program, AND donated their facility, people and time for our own fundraising purposes.
