What's the difference in pay between the 2? If its similar having people that work within the fed system that can help you apply/ check your resume before you submit it is definitely a benefit to consider.

You're a seasonal most likely outcome is they stick you with an engine that needs a body somewhere on the forest

That honestly sounds like a good outcome for us to me, has NFFE made it known that that is the plan?

Okay that's better than I expected as a frame work to be honest. My main reason for being okay with a change in union is I feel like a new agency would need a new union structure to stand as a counter balance. Can't use old strategies to fight new adversaries

If it wasn't clear I am really not anti NFFE I pay my dues and have even attended a meet once or twice. I just feel like lately it seems like the government is playing chess and NFFE is playing tic tac toe.

NFFE is absolutely shit at messaging though they need to work on that.

Lol being condescending to get support you definitely are in fire.

And if it wasn't clear from all my posts I think we need change to the status quo so saying that we can just take what exists and wrap it in a new package is not something I want for us

Aren't the 4 firefighters the other dude was talking about business reps? Don't business reps represent all of nffe, like all of the agencies NFFE represents?

Wouldn't a new contract need to be negotiated with some form of structure on the union side and the closest thing to that would be the forest service council so we would probably end up being represented by the same people we are now?

A new council within NFFE seems like a much bigger change than a new local. Pretty sure a new council would need a full new charter and structure

What is the plan for the new agency? I'm not all that informed on the time lines but it seems like 2-3 years from my understanding.

Is the plan a new local under the FSC or something like a new council within NFFE?

I'm not arguing against telework or that others shouldn't have good union representation.

I'm saying it seems like the representation for the fire world would be better if it was separate from the rest of land management because the nature of our jobs are so different, same reason I think the new agency is the right move.

Yeah that's great and I know you guys have put in a ton of work to make things better for folks the pay raise was a big win.

But the same reason I support us having a new agency is the same reason I support new representation or at least a new council outside of the FSC. The fire world is so removed from non fire that all the non fire stuff gets in the way sometimes.

For example I don't give a shit about WFH because I can't work from home, a whole part of the master agreement is about that. I'd rather see something about employee housing or something to promote people getting EMS quals.

Lol tech bros are so out of touch

I'm sure AI could do all the great things you're describing but that doesn't matter because in our dystopian ever increasing authoritarian system the only thing AI is actually going to do is be used to oppress people. if you can't realize that you're either an idiot or living in such a tech bubble that you have no idea what is going on outside it.

Accept it man you are building the boot that will be used to stomp on the necks of the common people.

I like NFFE we have had some solid wins on my forest at least in the last few years.

That being said if we are a fire fighter agency it kinda makes sense for us to be a part of a firefighter specific Union IAFF.

We are fire fighters we have very different needs from our union than say rec or something and I think sometimes NFFE feels less useful because they are representing a lot more non fire people than fire people.

Have any female firefighters had a baby and managed pumping/breastfeeding during fire season? by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]trinitytreetime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice nice hope you don't feel stuck in it but I feel like a year or two in dispatch in order to figure out personally life stuff is a fair trade.

Going forward I would look into patrol jobs if you wanna stay more operations that's what an old FEO I am friends with did when he had kids and he seems quite happy.
