NY’s Bravest Reject FDNY’s NewDiscriminatory Employment

Practices- - - - - -

As City Hall Pushes for $13/HR. MinimumWage – It Believes Permanently DisabledN.Y. City Firefighters Surviving on Just$10,000 year or $27/Day is Acceptable

On Monday, March 16th, the UFA launched acampaign together with hundreds of New YorkCity firefighters, City Council members, legisla-

tors, and clergy on the steps of City Hall to addressnew discriminatory employment practices of the Cityof New York and the FDNY. Although the city invest-ed millions of dollars in a multimedia recruitment

drive to address a lack of diversity at the agency, prom-ising all new recruits “The Best Benefits,” it hasinstead created a dangerous double standard thatthreatens public safety.

There are now more than 1,400 newly hiredFDNY firefighters who lack any real disability protec-tions. Should they be burned, seriously injured, or par-alyzed on the job, the disability protection for aProbationary (Rookie) Firefighter equals only about$10,000 per year or $27 per day. Corrective legislationis urgently needed to address this crisis which stemsfrom a June 2009 veto of New York City Firefighterand Police Tier II disability protections.

Would you risk your life and health for only$27 a day? It’s horrific that the top leadership in CityHall is saying that $10,000 a year is all the disabilityprotection that a New York City Firefighter - the besttrained firefighter in the world – will receive if perma-nently disabled on the job. Do they believe disabledfirefighters can survive, pay their rent, feed their fam-

President’s Messageby Stephen J. Cassidy

UFA President Steve Cassidy is flanked by members of the NYC City Council and hundreds of fire-fighters on the steps of City Hall on March 19th to launch a campaign addressing discriminatoryemployment practices of the City of New York and the FDNY.

ily and afford to send their children to college on thismeager sum? Just last week the mayor demanded aminimum hourly wage of $13/hour in the City of NewYork, but yet is a new, young firefighter protecting thepublic worth only a fraction of that if he or she is per-manently disabled?”

We have sought to correct this dangerous crisisfor more than a year, and it has continuously fallen ondeaf ears at the highest levels in City Hall. We believethat all New York City firefighters require equal dis-ability protections should they be burned, seriouslyinjured, or even paralyzed in the line of duty protect-ing New Yorkers. When the FDNY began its recruit-ment campaign for new firefighters in 2011, it adver-tised: “The best job in the world has the best benefitsin the world.” The City of New York failed to warn itsnewest firefighters, however, “just don’t get hurt in theline of duty!”

Since a federal judge’s ruling, the FDNY hasgraduated over 1,400 new firefighters with more than46% of those being black, Latino, Asian, or female.The UFA, together with the FDNY’s fraternal soci-eties, say it is morally reprehensible for city leaders todemand that firefighters risk their lives every day with-out having fair and adequate disability coverage.

When any firefighter is rushing into a burningbuilding, their sole focus should be on doing their joband saving lives, not worrying about what may happento their families if they are seriously injured.

View the two new videos: “$27/Day” (http://goo.gl/UGCiQF)and “Recruiting Lies” (http://goo.gl/8408cZ), whichcontain interviews with impacted firefighters address-ing their concerns.

New York City Firefighters have proven thatthey will do anything to protect life and property, but,how can City of New York’s leaders truthfully tell ayoung firefighter that they will be protected when thatis not the fact? Follow this initiative on our websitewww.ufanyc.org Facebook.com/ufanyc and on Twitter athttps://twitter.com/UFANYC #standwithbravest. The UFAwill be lobbying legislators in Albany. For details onhow you can help, read Vice President Slevin’sLegislative Update on the next page.

On Saturday, March 7th, I was honored andprivileged to be the Grand Marshal of the 40th AnnualQueens County St. Patrick’s Day Parade. On March17th, hundreds of firefighters also joined the UFA tomarch in the 254th St. Patrick’s Day Parade inManhattan, which was dedicated to the 24 fallen mem-bers of the Fighting 69th Regiment and their Gold Starfamilies. This regiment was one of the first militaryunits to respond to the September 11th attack on theWorld Trade Center. Since that tragic day, 24 membersof this historic unit have been killed in action. Asalways, stay safe!

Legislative Updateby James M. Slevin, Vice President

See You in AlbanyLobby Day - April 28th

Our annual lobby day will take place thisyear on April 28th. Once again, we areasking all of our members to make them-

selves available to travel to Albany to supportour legislative agenda. Our priority legislationremains the restoration of disability protectionsfor our Tier III members. Over the past fewweeks, we have been ramping up the pressure onthe City Council to provide a Home RuleMessage so that Albany can act and pass thislegislation. We have launched an ad campaign,started online petitioning, held rallies, and havebeen meeting with key Council members toensure that we have their support. City Councilleadership and the Mayor remain opposed torestoration of the disability protections for ournew members. We remain hopeful that, with thesupport of an overwhelming majority of Councilmembers, leadership will be forced to grant ahearing on the home rule and ultimately pass it.(See resolution 474-2014) We will continue toneed your support for rallies and press confer-ences to fix this injustice. If you have notalready done so, please sign the petition on theUFA website, like us on Facebook, and Tweetyour support #standwithbravest

The UFA is also working on having the dis-ability protection included in the NYS budget. Thiswould eliminate the need for a home rule mes-sage from the NYC Council. The NYS Senatehas included it in their budget resolution and iscurrently negotiating with the Governor andNYS Assembly. We will continue to meet withthe NYS Assembly and the Governor’s office to

have them agree to the Senate’s provision pro-viding for disability protections for Tier IIImembers. Althought the budget is due April 1st,there are numerous issues that need to be workedout, including an ethics proposal and educationrelated measures. It is possible that our disabili-ty protection will not be in the language of thefinal adopted budget, so we will continue to pushfor a home rule from the City Council.

The logistics for lobby day will be post-ed on the UFA website and faxed and emailed toall of our members. As in years past, we willprovide as many busses as needed from loca-tions around the city. If the demand is there, wecan provide busses from Long Island andupstate. We also invite our retired members tojoin us to walk the halls of the Capitol. Furtherinfo can be obtained at www.ufanyc.org. A fullagenda, along with a listing of our priority legis-lation and talking points, will be posted. To signup in advance, please email [email protected] include all of your contact info. We need alarge turnout to let the legislators know howimportant the fix to Tier III is for our membersand their families.

FDNY Hispanic Society President, lIEUTENANTJORGE lUIS TORRES, who is also the father of one ofthose new FDNY Firefighters said, “This job is anextremely dangerous job and we don’t have a secondto think about this. We need to address the (emer-gency) incident at the moment and not second guessourselves. That’s what’s going on right now in some ofthese firefighters’ minds. Am I taking this chance nextto this other firefighter? Am I going in further and am Igoing to risk my life to save someone else’s? This isthe first time in my career I started seeing firefighters,to some extent, second guessing and start thinkingabout that. This is not right and needs to be changedAs a father of a New York City Firefighter, I question,should he risk his life for $27 a day?”

NEW FDNY Firefighter HASSAN ClARK, E 90, whojoined the FDNY in 2013 said, “I want to be able to dothis job without second guessing…I would be morecomfortable if the system protected me the way I riskmy life to protect other families across New York.”

NEW FF VANESSA SCHOENING, E33 “I have friends whoare firefighters and fathers of firefighters. Everything theytold me suggested it was the greatest job in the world, inthe greatest city to serve in, and had the greatest benefits.Well, it’s 2015 and we didn’t get these same benefits.”



lIEUTENANT STEVEN lEE, President of FDNY PhoenixSociety “Nearly half the members of the FDNY Phoenix Societyare affected by this disability pension issue. The number ofmembers has sharply grown since the diversification efforts bythe City in the last exam, and unfortunately these new firefight-ers have no real disability protections, and this is absolutelyunfair. We want to make sure all firefighters have real disabilityprotections if they are permanently disabled”

NEW FF ERIC SANTOS, E95 “Thinking about not beingprotected should I be seriously injured has put a realstrain one me. I will be extremely relieved when thisissue gets settled.”

NEW FF GISEllE KING, E 15 “The spirit of firefighting is abouta team, and the older guys are telling the younger ones that“we are not being treated right by the city.” The issue doesn’tdeter us from doing our job, and it shows how much we careabout the city and the job. We should have proper coverageand benefits. I knew our tier was different from previouslyhired firefighters, but I didn’t realize how different it was. Iknew there would be less coverage but not the details of it. Ididn’t know as much as I know now. Fellow newly-hired fire-fighters say we must make it our business to support thechange in the FDNY.”

Brooklyn Trustee’s Updateby John G. Kelly, Jr.

At 4:30am on Saturday, January 31st, firefight-ers responded to a call about a small shelvingunit fire at CitiStorage, a four-story waterfront

warehouse at 5 North 11th St. in Williamsburg. At6:30am, firefighters were called back and found thebuilding consumed in flames. The fire quickly escalat-ed into a seven-alarm inferno. John Kelly, Jr, the UFABrooklyn Trustee, said “over 55 units and 275 fire-fighters were at the scene for two days, fighting theflames with outside temperatures in the low 20’s.Frigid weather conditions and the fact that the ware-house was full of paper made extinguishing the firedifficult.” City busses were provided so that firefight-ers could warm up as they relieved each one anotherfrom duty.

The storage facility housed over 4 millionboxes of paper records for the Greater New YorkHospital Association (Mount Sinai Health System,New York-Presbyterian Hospital, North Shore-LongIsland Jewish Health System and NYU Langone

Medical Center), the New York State courts, and theCity’s Administration for Children’s Services. Kellyobserved “with heavy winds, paper and debris could beseen all over the area, much of which came to restalong and in the East River.” Disaster recovery con-tractors were sent to collect the scattered debris.

Water was being poured onto the building fromtower ladders and two FDNY boats in the East River–the Bravest and the Firefighter II. The latter is thelargest vessel and was able to pour 17,000 gallons ofwater a minute onto the fire. Kelly said “TheDepartment’s Marine Battalion fought the fire from thewater. The front water cannon of the Firefighter II wasso powerful that its force was able to collapse thewarehouse walls, thereby getting to the fire inside.”Because the warehouse was filled with paper, the firecontinued to smolder and flare up into Sunday. Waterand the freezing temperatures entombed sections of thewarehouse and the surrounding area in ice. Becausethe warehouse was filled with paper, the fire wasexpected to continue smoldering for days. At the timeof this reporting, no cause of the fire has been deter-mined.

The FDNY has always been home to heroes, but this winter we lost two men,each bigger-than-life, both having led remarkable lives.

On Monday, February 2nd, Nicholas DeGaeta, 95, died at his home in New Dorp,Staten Island, where had lived since 1955. He served 35 years in the FDNY andretired in October 1984 from Engine Co. 10, across from the former World TradeCenter. He was named New York State Firefighter Union Man of the Year in 1979.

His son, James, also a former FDNY firefighter, said that his father was “22 years oldwhen he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He joined the 509th Parachute Battalion, whichlater became the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion. My Dad actually completed twojumps with the British armed forces before the United States had even entered the

Second World War. It was the reason he wore the British red beret. Dad saw duty in North Africa, Italy, France,and Germany. He received the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Clusters after being one of thelast 48 enlisted men and seven officers still standing in his unit after the Battle of the Bulge on the WesternFront.” In July 1945, DeGaeta discharged as a sergeant.

“After retiring from the FDNY,” said James, “my father remained active within the FDNY community andhelped injured firefighters and their families. He worked with Community Mayors, a group that works with dis-abled children. We are all so proud that the FDNY presents the annual Community Mayors’ Nicholas DeGaetaAward to someone who demonstrates ‘commitment to excellence and persistence of duty.’ He was also active-ly involved for many years with the “Help Team” that assisted firefighters and their families with transporta-tion to the Burn Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. In the aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, heattended dozens of firefighters’ funerals and was a presence of hope and solace. In November 2010, he wasgiven France’s highest honor and was appointed a Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honor by FrenchPresident Nicolas Sarkozy. He was married for 60 years to the former Antoinette Nerino, who died in 2007. Heis survived by his son James, his daughter Linda Iafe, 2 sisters, 4 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and hiscompanion, Frieda Szaf.

FDNY Lt. John Mulzac, 91, died on Sunday, February 1st. He lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn and wasone of the original members of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American unit of fighter and bomberpilots in the U.S. armed forces during World War II.

His son Henry Mulzac was quoted in the NY Daily News as saying, “Despite the tough times of segregation hewent through, he always felt this was the best country in the world. He was so grateful for what this countrydid for him and felt the service was worth it.”

In 1947, after the war, Mulzac joined the FDNY. Twenty years later in 1967, he retired as a lieutenant. Duringthis time he was a reservist, and remarkably, flew missions in both the Korean War and in Vietnam. After retire-ment, Mulzac worked as a sky marshal and then as a U.S. Customs inspector.

Mulzac and his wife Beatrice had 8 children. He is survived by his wife, 22 grandchildren, and 8 great-grand-children.

The focus of the Wellness and FitnessInitiative task force of the InternationalAssociation of Fire Fighters (IAFF), of

which I’m a member, is to identify, research, andreport on health, wellness, and fitness issues thataffect firefighters. I’ll be bringing some importanttopics to your attention in upcoming issues forFire Lines. There’s a wealth of information avail-able on the IAFFF website. I invite you to visitthis site for further study and consideration.

Sleep disorders are one issues that plaguefirefighters. Recently, The Journal of ClinicalSleep Medicine found that “37 percent of the fire-fighters screened positive for at least one sleepdisorder.” Another report entitled The Effects ofSleep Deprivation on Fire Fighters and EMSResponders, focused on the effects of sleep disor-ders on the health, wellness, and job performanceof firefighters and EMS responders. In theExecutive Summary of this report, it is noted that“sleep deprivation is linked with increased errorsin tasks requiring alertness, vigilance and quickdecision-making.” Additionally, “chronic sleeploss also is associated with a general increase inhealth complaints and musculoskeletal problems,higher body weights, a greater risk of obstructivesleep apnea and heightened levels of cardiovascu-lar disease and cancer.” There is also evidence thatthe long-term effects of sleep apnea are associatedwith increased incidents of stroke. It is well-docu-mented that firefighters have a much higher riskof stroke than civilians.

It’s important that firefighters pay attentionto sleep disorders and realize that at whatever age,these disorders have broad spectrum long-termhealth effects on an individual. Not only can dailyactivities and job responsibilities be impaired but,not surprisingly, everything from one’s immunesystem, mood and temperament, eating habits,digestive health, and metabolism can be affected.To learn more about sleep deprivation, go to thewebsite of National Institutes of Health.http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/files/docs/public/sleep/healthysleep.pdf. Taking care of sleep issues earlyon can prevent devastating long-term conse-quences. Knowledge, education, and advocacy areyour best allies in the maintenance of health andfitness.
