I'm pleased to announce that The Town of Middletown and The IAFF, Middletown Firefighters have agreed to a four year contract. The vote taken last night was 6-0 with COUNCILOR TERRY FLYNN ABSTAINING.
This contract will restructure the Fire Department and add one firefighter right away, thereby making it possible to staff a second rescue and rely less on Mutual Aid.It will also, through the use of Federal SAFER grants add four more additional firefighters which over the life of the contract bring the total to 7 new firefighters to our department. It ensures that our Fire Department will NEVER again be understaffed and put the residents of this town's safety in jeopardy! It makes Middletown a safer place to live and ensures the safety of our Firefighters.
This agreement was a result of collaboration and good faith bargaining on both sides. I want to thank IAFF Union President John Jordan and his team for working with the town to make this happen.
Many of you know my roots in public safety, it was difficult to speak publicly while negotiations were on going. I can assure you all behind the scenes I was a staunch advocate for increasing the manpower of our Fire Department and protecting all of the residents of Middletown. You have my word, that I will always advocate for what is in the best interests of our great community!
