Governor and U.S Senate race Recommendations

 

Governor and U.S Senate race Recommendations

Governor
(We did not officially endorse):

Josh Shapiro

U.S. Senate (We did not officially endorse):

Connor Lamb

The reason we are not making recommendations on the Republican side for Gov. and U.S. Senate is that none are friendly to Professional Fire Fighter issues. As always vote for your beliefs.

We are still in need of help

Tomorrow is primary day and as I mentioned before, our friends in the political world who have helped us rebuild the department
need us at the polls tomorrow. We need to show them that we appreciate their friendship and make sure they stay in a position to continue to help us grow.
I still need to fill 2 shifts.
Morning 0730-11 or when it slows
Afternoon 1500-2000 or when it slows
Contact Perreault (484) 892-1787 for details
Pat Browne and Pete Schweyer need our, IAFF Local 302 members, to help tomorrow. Saeed Georges and Nick Miller need our help. This is a political voice-building election for us. Come out and help us continue the growth.

COVID Protocol

Attached is a guideline sent from HR to all Allentown Employees.

Currently, you come to work unless you have a positive test, regardless of exposure.  If you have been exposed but are not positive there are certain mask mandates that are to be followed.

 The biggest change in the current protocol was highlighted in yellow.  Your positive test must be professionally administered at a testing site.  The City continues to provide the testing at the Central fire station.  The positive test should provide date-specific administering as well as the location if not administered at Central.

At-home tests will no longer be accepted.

Come out and show your support

,

  It’s that time again…Primary election season. As always, this is when we show our political friends that we appreciate the help they give us when we need new equipment and grants, helping us to do our jobs safely and expand the Department. Those of us who served under a hostile administration understand how far we have come and what it takes to never go back. We’ve achieved this accomplishment by standing with our friends and community and building a strong reputable brand. By continuing to endorse, vote, and provide campaign manpower support, we show everyone that IAFF Local 302 Allentown Fire Fighters are good allies to have in your corner.

Come out Tuesday, May 17th, and help us at the polls. Those who have helped in the past realize that it is a good way to positively engage the citizens of Allentown and promote Local 302.

 

Morning shift 0700 to about 11 or when it slows down

Afternoon shift 1500-2000 or again, when the polls slow

Don’t assume that we have enough help. The more help we get the less each guy has to stand at a poll. We will provide yellow Local 302 t-shirts for election day.

Contact Perreault (484)892-1787 for more information.

Posted are the candidates we have endorsed locally for Pa Senate District 16 (Pat Browne), new Pa Senate District 14 (Nick Miller), Pa Legislative District 22nd (Saeed Georges) and Pete Schweyer’s new Pa Legislative District 134. As always vote for your beliefs. These are our endorsements based solely on Fire Fighter and labor issues.

Thank you,

Local 302 Executive Board
