MPFD Contract Ratitification

3 posts in this topic

After a long 2 1/2 years, IAFF Local 4746 which represents 21 employees of the Mashantucket Pequot (tribal) Fire Department vote favorably last night to accept our first contract. The negotiating committee did a fine job of getting a fair contract for the next three years. For some this may not seem as a big deal but for us it is. We are the first tribal fire department who organized under Tribal Law (non federal sponsored department) to receive a contract from our employers. During the process the Local and the Tribal Government ran a very respectful and honorable negotiation process, all in good faith.

Our department covers the Mashantucket (Western) Peqout Tribal Naton lands in the town of Ledyard, CT. We also protect the Foxwoods Resort, MGM Grand at Foxwoods, all tribal government properties and tribal member's homes.

You can read the press release here at the New London Day's website: http://m.theday.com/theday/db_40429/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=ChgnYSSG&src=cat

(any problems with the link please let me know)

If you come visit, you are all more than welcome to stop by the firehouse.
