This week, the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on H.R. 82, known as the Social Security Fairness Act.

This legislation seeks to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offsets (GPO), which have unfairly impacted firefighters and other public servants for over four decades. Passing H.R. 82 would restore equity in Social Security for millions of Americans. It’s vital for all PFFA members to get involved and urge their representatives in Congress to support H.R. 82 with a YES vote!

Happy Veterans Day to the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. Thank you.

Last week, your #pffaz President Dan Freiberg addressed the delegation at the IAFF state and provincial meeting in Charlottesville, Virginia, providing an update on our ongoing victories and legislative priorities in Arizona.

As a Right to Work (RTW) state, Arizona firefighter unions face significant challenges. Despite these obstacles, we have made notable strides in protecting the rights of firefighters. Our commitment to advocating for and working for Arizona firefighters remains strong.

In 2021, your #PFFAZ successfully helped add breast cancer to the cancer presumption list for firefighters. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize those affected by this disease. Female firefighters face a 39% increased risk of dying from breast cancer compared to women in the general U.S. population and a 26% higher likelihood of being diagnosed with the disease.

Your PFFA is continually working to help improve Arizona firefighters’ lives on and off duty.

Brothers and Sisters, Your #pffaz team diligently works to determine which props or ballot initiatives will best serve public safety, including our pensions, workplace safety needs, staffing, and funding for our fire departments.
We hope you will strongly consider these props when you cast your ballot. Please be aware that we do not make endorsements in every ballot initiative.

Absolutely B.S. that the PFFA is asking voters to vote yes on prop 140. Just opening a door for corruption and manipulation.

Yes all the way on Prop 140. 33.95% of registered Arizona voters are Independents. Independents are not able to vote in the current primary system unless you choose either a Democrat or Republican ticket. If you believe in capitalism and competition in America then let’s bring those same principles to our ability to vote.

Nope on 140. Stupidest prop ever. Want to vote in primary? Get a candidate on the ballot. R votes for R, D votes for D. I can vote for I if they can get one on ballot. Talk about being able to stack the deck for your party

The inception of the PFFA came about as a successor to the Arizona State Firemen’s Association, which was founded in 1924. During that time, Tucson Chief Joseph Roberts was the head of the Firemen’s Association. Interestingly enough, activists in that original organization were mostly chiefs and the organization was open to all firefighters, professional and volunteer. One key activist in the AFSA was Phoenix Deputy Chief, Jake Siken.
