The link quit working, Is an updated link available? I don't see any news about a vote happening.

It takes a lot of work, patience, and open honest dialogue. Great work men.

Collaboration is the foundation of firefighting. It’s what keeps the public safe and our union strong. Yesterday, collaborating with Arizona Fraternal Order of Police, Arizona Police Association and Azcops , our #PFFAZ initiated discussions on supporting PSPRS Tier 3 members who put their lives in danger daily to protect the public.

By working with elected representatives in Arizona who advocate for public safety, we aim to address the issues affecting our Tier 3 members, ensuring they can retire with the dignity they have earned through years of putting the public’s safety before their own.

Stay tuned for ways you can help and get involved in this important matter.

About time on Tier 3 reform. Bad from the start.

With much appreciation & gratitude…thank you!

At last month’s #PFFAZ executive board meeting, Doug Myers from the Tempe chapter of Local 493 was nominated and unanimously voted as our next Executive Vice President. Doug brings a wealth of knowledge to our board and will be a tremendous asset to all Arizona firefighters. Welcome aboard, Brother Myers! ... See MoreSee Less

Happy thanksgiving and thank you for your service and dedication, stay safe out there

The Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82) passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support on November 13th. This bill is the key to repealing the unfair Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) that have robbed fire fighters of the Social Security benefits they’ve earned.

But here’s the urgent reality: if the Senate doesn’t act before the 118th Congress ends, this bill dies—and with it, decades of effort to correct this injustice.

Click below to email Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema—both co-sponsors of this bill. Please politely demand immediate action to bring H.R. 82 to a Senate vote.

Please follow the link, or write or call your Senators directly. It really is very easy. More importantly, restoration of full Social Security benefits for our members and other public employees that earned these benefits is the right thing to do.

Done

Has cost me several hundred $$$ a month for 6 years; a penalty for State & local government SERVICE‼️ Will Senator Schumer support us by prioritizing this bill???????

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.
