Thrilled & honored that @AFFA332 won the @IAFFNewsDesk media award for Best Affiliate PR Project for our #FightFor15ForFireFighters campaign. It was a long battle that succeeded because of our members, & #AVL community support.@WLOS_13 @PFFPNC https://t.co/fjlRVpcA1h
@mullins_pffpnc and @MattBallance are talking about their success in their #FightFor15ForFireFighters on getting 77 of Asheville's fire fighters at least $15/hour pay. It took social media, community support, media and the hard work of the Asheville Local to get the pay raise.
AVL City budget passes unanimously & includes new AFD pay plan.@AFFA332 members will make over $15/hr & all will earn market value wages.Thnx Mayor @EstherManheimer & #AVL City Council 4 supporting FFs.Most of all, thanks AVL community for your support #FightFor15ForFireFighters
Rep. @BrianTurnerNC shares An Idea that Should Happen: HB705, which he, @TerenceEveritt, @cooper_suggs and @jdgailliard filed yesterday.
We should be paying those who rush first into danger $15 an hour at minimum. HB705 would do it. #ncpol #ncga @NCHouseDems
17 @CityofAsheville @AFFA332 FFs have tested positive for #Covid19 and could potentially have to fight for their lives, they shouldn’t still be having to be fighting for #fairwages!!! #hazardpay #FightFor15ForFireFighters #firstinflightlastinbenefits @IAFFNewsDesk @PFFPNC
Our job is dangerous.We go 2 work knowing there’s a good chance of getting sick. @CityofAsheville refuses 2 give adequate compensation to FireFighters & denied hazard pay(which is reimbursed by the federal govt.). @IAFFNewsDesk https://t.co/JNl9ooraFf
Until our brothers and sisters across our state are paid a living wage for an honest days work. Anything less is unacceptable and we will hold our elected officials accountable!

Just another reason why Union membership is going up everyday in NC. Cities all over the state continue to shortchange their FFs while raising health insurance costs to employees every year #fightfor15forfirefighters #shameful @cityofsvl @CityofAsheville @ConcordNCgov @PFFPNC
We may be a blue-collar trade. But despite what @CityofAsheville thinks, we understand how numbers work.
We also know a few things about fairness. Equity. Right and wrong.
And we know that #AVL City Government left 77 members behind.

Thanks for the heads up! Go Nurses! @AFFA332 has been fighting for decent wages for FireFighters but our employer won’t do the right thing. We’d appreciate your support too. Every @CityofAsheville employee makes $15/hr except 77 FireFighters. #FightFor15ForFireFighters. @PFFPNC
1) Nurses from Mission Hospital are organizing a protest , which will be held Weds at 8 AM at the corner of Biltmore Ave and Hospital Drive. Nurses will be socially distanced and wearing masks. The protest is focused on concern about HCA's inadequate staffing at the hospital.
Mayor @EstherManheimer and Asheville City Council say that they appreciate Asheville Fire Fighters. Let’s see what their final budget says tomorrow night.

Yet Mayor @EstherManheimer and Asheville City Council doesn’t feel that 77 of those fire fighters that our citizens see as providing excellent service deserve equity in wage with every other city employee.

A 2018 Community Livability Report produced for @CityofAsheville showed that 93% of Asheville citizens surveyed found @AshevilleFD service to be excellent, the highest approval rating of any listed service or department in our city.

Early May: 77 #AVL Fire Fighters are paid less than $15/hr, @CityofAsheville Compensation Study is scheduled to be complete.
Late July: 77 Fire Fighters STILL below $15/hr, the city is STILL dragging their feet on Comp Study.
Asheville can do better.
#FightFor15ForFireFighters
Your #AVL Fire Fighters can’t afford to live in the city they serve.
Our members start at $11.65/hr. Senior Fire Fighters who have worked for the city 5 years, are still under $15/hr.

Some of the 77 #AVL Fire Fighters not being paid the same as all other @CityofAsheville employees. Call/text Mayor @EstherManheimer and the rest of Council and let them know that ALL city employees deserve $15/hr! #FightFor15ForFireFighters https://t.co/uUhCuSu3HG
Your #AVL fire fighters are on the job daily. Before COVID, during COVID, and they will be there for you and your family after. But they need your help! Ask @CityofAsheville to pay your fire fighters $15/hr like all other city employees. #FightFor15ForFireFighters.
Great work by #AVL Fire Fighters last night. Quick response by well-trained fire fighters prevented the fire from spreading into multiple businesses. @buxtonhall @CatawbaBeer @VortexDoughnuts
#FightFor15ForFireFighters
The support we have had from the citizens of #AVL for ALL fire fighters to get $15/hr has been amazing! A resident brought these treats to the B-Shift crew at Station 1 earlier today. Keep calling/emailing the Mayor and Council, your voice matters!
#FightFor15ForFireFighters
Around 1:30 AM, #AVL Fire Fighters rolled up on this massive fire only a few feet from a large, 3 story apartment complex. Your #AVL Fire Fighters prevented the fire from spreading into the complex, keeping the residents safe and protecting their homes. #FightFor15ForFireFighters
