Our local IAFF 3151 firefighters are committed to our members and the community. Being a firefighter is an honorable and challenging profession, but it comes with its fair share of struggles. From navigating contract negotiations to ensuring firefighter safety, there are numerous issues that need to be addressed.
Imagine working tirelessly to keep your community safe, only to feel undervalued and unsupported by management. Many municipal firefighters run into this every day. The lack of a united voice can lead to unfair treatment, unresolved conflicts, and a sense of isolation among firefighters.
Welcome to Local IAFF 3151, as a strong support system as a firefighter. We are here to stand up for your rights, negotiate fair contracts on your behalf, and ensure that you have access to the best member benefits available. Our top priority is your safety and well-being. Our executive board works hard not only locally to keep our members benefits but also at the state level. They annually attend The Professional Fire fighter’s Union of Indiana Convention. (To learn more about PFFUI Click here)
But we’re not just about serious matters – we also know how important it is to foster a sense of camaraderie and create a family-friendly environment. Join us for our Christmas party or the city Independence day celebration where you can connect with fellow firefighters and enjoy quality time with your loved ones.
