Union Advises Firefighters not to Volunteer
I may not have the needed perspective here, but this just seems wrong to me (from Firefighting News):
The president of a New York City firefighter's union is advising his members not to serve as volunteer firefighters. In his monthly online report, Uniformed Fire Officers Association President of Local 854 Peter Gorman told members not to be volunteer firefighters in their home communities. He says the so-called "two-hatters" could jeopardize union health benefits if they got sick or injured on their volunteer jobs, reported New York City cable news channel NY1.
It seems to me that the union is telling firefighters what they can do on their own time.
