May 12, 2008 -- The Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act, the IAFF's national collective bargaining bill (S 2123) is expected to be brought to the floor of the United States Senate for a vote Tuesday morning May 13, 2008. "More than 80,000 of our brother and sister fire fighters in more than 20 states do not currently enjoy basic employment rights," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. This bill will ensure that every fire fighter has the right to collectively bargain."
