The City Manager is acting in bad faith and we have plenty of evidence to prove it.

Attached is our response to City Manager Mark Jinks’ recent compensation proposal. It’s insulting and the public deserves to know the truth.

Just now: A fair and equitable Collective Bargaining Ordinance passes unanimously! Thank you for supporting the employees of Alexandria @justindotnet @EBPforVA @AmyJacksonVA @j_chapman99 @CanekForCouncil @MoSeifeldein @DelPepper

Unions with collective bargaining putting the community first. Don't believe the narrative that collective bargaining hurts the community. @UnderDog408 @AlexandriaVAGov @Virginia_AFLCIO @AlexVADems @TheVaPFF

[IAFF Local 2141 @IAFFLocal2141]

Last year #HB582 passed which makes it legal got local governments to recognize #labor #unions and allows labor unions to represent and bargain on behalf of employees. 1/4 @guzman4virginia @justindotnet @EBPforVA @j_chapman99

Yesterday marked 7-years since my life was saved by EMTs, nurses, docs and a lot of donor blood. I remember losing consciousness in the ambulance & thinking “oh my gosh I am going to die.”

Please donate blood if you can. It’s the easiest way to save a life. It saved mine. ❤️🩸

Congratulations Deputy Chief Andrew Duke who retired after 30 years of dedicated service w/#FCFRD. C-Shift gave him a great send-off at Station 30, Merrifield, Friday. Congrats also to DC Duke who started today, as Assistant Chief for @AlexandriaVAFD! AFD is lucky to have you!

[Delegate Elizabeth Bennett-Parker @EBPforVA]

Thanks to Jackson de Vallance and Boy Scout Troop 135 for making 1,469 masks to give away to our community for free. You can pick one up until 3pm today at Commonwealth Baptist (700 Commonwealth Ave).

ASO deputies handled traffic control at the memorial service for Louis Rich, a tow truck driver who was struck and killed in Fredericksburg. A tragic reminder to #SlowDown and #MoveOver!

[Alexandria Fire-EMS @AlexandriaVAFD]

While enjoying Alexandria this weekend, stop by Firehouse 201 in Old Town and take in the wonderful sights provided courtesy of the Hunting Creek Garden Club. Lifting spirits and bringing smiles to our community was the goal, and we'd like to say job well done! Thanks!

[Alexandria Fire-EMS @AlexandriaVAFD]

Our EMS personnel are facing challenges every day, especially during a pandemic. Their compassion is admirable and their dedication to the profession and community is appreciated. Thank you for all that you do. Happy #EMSWeek. Stay safe and healthy Alexandria!

“YOU SAVED MY LIFE”: Alexandria firefighters reunite with Alec, a man they rescued 2 years ago when he overdosed on heroin. Alec says he hasn’t taken a drug since and has turned his life around. He’s a GIS programmer, and has a wife and baby girl. Full story tonight #NBC4DC

"It seems City Council’s philosophy is ignore it and it will go away. And it's going away. It's going away to Fairfax. It's going away to Arlington. It's going away to Park Police, Leesburg, Airport Authority,... https://t.co/iFkxoxIelf

[IAFF Local 2141 @IAFFLocal2141]

It’s time for City Council to take action and fix our pay! https://t.co/pwzuNo3m1j

[APMA @APMA78]

Alexandria already struggling to compete with compensation of surroundings jurisdictions experimenting with idea of moving paramedics out of Del Ray https://t.co/YqlEXeg4Jm

[SaveAlexEMS @SaveAlexEMS]

Did you know that there is a nationwide shortage of paramedics and you’re city is lagging behind the region with regards to compensation.

Did you know that there is a fire house in your city that doesn’t have an ambulance or fire engine in it?

Busy day for Alexandria Firefighters and Paramedics means an even busier day for our friends at IAHED.

[Julie Carey @JulieCareyNBC]

First reponders in #AlexandriaVA are sounding the alarm about police & fire pay. They warn low police starting pay means talented, young officers are being lured away. But they have an idea about how to raise revenue #NBC4DC@6 @nbcwashington

@justindotnet Ever the optimist.
