Breaking News from Long Island - Garden City
Last night, the Village of Garden City took steps to eliminate its core of career firefighters – leaving only volunteers to serve the community. The process is complicated and involves multiple steps however please know the NYSPFFA is all in.
We have been in touch with Local President, T.J. Michon; NYSPFFA District V.P Sean DeNigris; and IAFF 1st District Vice President Jim Slevin to respond to this vote and protect our brother’s jobs in Garden City.
We will continue providing immediate support and all available resources to help our members in Garden City. In addition, this is a situation where your support will be necessary to assist with potential campaign, political, tactical and logistics.
Later today, we will reconvene with President Michon and will provide each of you with an update and guidance relating to how you can be supportive.
We must each rise to stand and fight for and with Garden City.
Be safe and be Strong.
Sam Fresina
President - NYSPFFA
