WIDOW’S HOLIDAY FUND

Dear Members:

This is the 32nd year we are calling our active members to contribute to our annual Widow’s Holiday Fund. Because of your generosity, we are able to:

·         Distribute a $150 check to all Widows

·         Host a Thanksgiving Luncheon and

·         Deliver a Thanksgiving Food Basket to local widows.

Some widows receive a Pension below the poverty level, so your contribution means a great deal. Please read a small sampling of “Thank You” letters we received just last year.  It warms your heart to know that you made a difference and are appreciated abundantly for your generosity.

Once again, we are asking each member to contribute $20 in order to continue this tradition for our gracious and grateful survivors.

I am asking the Steward or designated member to take the collection in your station. Please bring your returns to Local 22 no later than November’s union meetings on November 5^th and November 7^th.

These deserving women are members of our extended firefighting family and this gift signifies that they are not forgotten.

This is the season for giving, so let us be generous to our own.

Sincerely,

Michael Bresnan

President, Local 22

Hello Local 22 Members:

I hope you are having a great October.  I wanted to send you an update with a new code that our Local can use on Franklin Institute tickets for the upcoming special exhibit.

On October 19, the museum will open a world premier exhibit that will be the first of its kind in Philadelphia.  Based on the internationally bestselling book series, The Worst Case Scenario: Survival Experience, the exhibit is an immersive, hands-on experience that challenges guests to think about how to survive in unbelievable (yet plausible!), situations.  Do you have what it takes to jump between cars on a moving train?  How about the ability to detect a lie?  The ability to survive in quicksand?  In this exhibit you’ll be faced with wildly ridiculous scenarios, you will experience them firsthand, and then you will learn about real people who have survived to tell their stories. 

As always, members of Local 22 can save up to 20% off oftickets.  Follow three easy steps.

1. Go to www.fi.edu/affiliates
2. Login or create an account
3. Purchase tickets using your organization specific code: PFF22GRP
4. Enjoy The Franklin Institute!

Sincerely,

Local 22

Through an internal audit of our most recent payroll processing (Thursday September 26), it was discovered that approximately 75 of our members were shorted overtime dollars that were to be paid to them today.  The bulk of these members were part of the most recent FEMA deployment.  Local 22 has been working closely with PFD payroll since last evening to address this issue and it was agreed today that these missing overtime payments would be processed as a special supplemental payroll immediately.  Members who were affected should expect a second deposit into their normal direct deposit account in the next few days.  As always, members are reminded to monitor their pay for accuracy.   

Your Union, Local 22, is searching for an Assistant Pension/Retirement Representative to work in conjunction with the existing Pension Representative.  The ideal candidate should:

• Have an aptitude and passion for working with numbers.
• Possess very strong interpersonal and communication skills as you will be working regularly with our 4,000+ active and retired members and their spouses. 
• Be comfortable and proficient speaking in front of crowds as you will be tasked with delivering presentations to incoming cadet classes as well as groups of active members. 
• Be self-motivated in order to provide timely and accurate information to our members when necessary.

This position currently requires one day per week (Monday through Friday) with the possibility of expending to two days per week in the future.  Members who are interested should send a brief resume or letter stating their interest and relevant work history to BCoughlin@iaff22.org . We will be sure to announce this opening at our October union meetings and letters of interest will be accepted through the second union meeting in November to be sure all members in good standing have an opportunity to apply.  We have a very educated and motivated group of members and I look forward to tapping into some of that talent as we further our mission.  Feel free to reach out with any questions.
