Yesterday was the Annual Racine County Police and Fire Golf Outing hosted by Meadowbrook Country Club. 50 brave souls took on a challenge, October golf in Wisconsin. October golf in Wisconsin has always been a coin toss; it could be 70 degrees and sunny, or like yesterday, in the 40s and low 50s with 20-30mph winds. Either way, it was an amazing day and good times were had by all who attended. From our Fire Department members, past and present, to our friends in Blue with Racine PD and all of the others who joined in, thank you, it was a great time and we look forward to seeing everyone and more next year!

A special thank you to Meadowbrook Country Club for hosting and organizing this event and allowing all of us to enjoy your course and accommodations. The service, course, and the fun are top-notch and we can’t wait to be back next year! Thank you for all you have done for the community!

As we all go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning and throughout the day, please take a moment , or 6 moments to reflect. NEVER FORGET!!!!!

On this day... 24 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.

2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning.

343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.
60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.

8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift.

None of them saw past 11:00am Sept 11, 2001.

In one single moment life may never be the same.

As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

🚒 Happy Labor Day from Racine Fire Fighters L-321! 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the strength and resilience of workers across our nation. Labor Day is more than just a day off; it’s a celebration of the efforts and dedication of hardworking individuals who have fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the rights we enjoy today.

Unions play a vital role in protecting these rights and ensuring that every worker is treated with respect and dignity. Through collective bargaining, we empower workers to stand together, advocate for their needs, and create a better workplace for all.

Let’s take a moment this Labor Day to appreciate the contributions of every worker and recognize the strength that comes from unity. Together, we can continue the fight for workers’ rights and a brighter future for all!

Stay safe, stay strong, and enjoy the holiday! 💪

💪 make a difference and we never stop fighting for YOU.

Every day, we stand up for:

✔️ Worker Health & Safety
✔️ Fair Pay
✔️ Strong Benefits
✔️ Dignified Retirement

It’s about standing together, protecting each other, and building a stronger future for fire fighters and emergency medical workers.

👷‍♀️👨‍🚒 Happy to all our members.

Community Update: Resolution of Contract with the City of Racine

We are pleased to announce a resolution to our outstanding contract with the City of Racine. After thorough negotiations, the city has conceded to our concerns regarding the added language in our contract. As of yesterday, the members of the Finance and Personnel Committee have signed the contract.

While we celebrate this milestone, it’s important to clarify a few key points regarding our current agreement. Nothing within the current contract is a permissive subject of bargaining. Through every obstacle, we have steadfastly pursued the benefits our members have earned, demonstrating our commitment to honesty and transparency.

We would also like to address some misinformation in the city’s counter press release dated August 6th. Contrary to the report, we do not get Juneteenth as a holiday, nor do we receive 12 weeks of paid parental leave; we receive 5 and a half weeks. We believe it is vital to set the record straight to avoid any misunderstandings among our community.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the members of our community for their unwavering support throughout this process. Your phone calls and emails to city leaders played a crucial role in helping us resolve this matter. We also want to give a special shout-out to the Alders of the City of Racine who reached out in support: Alder Renee Kelly, Alder Nathan Pabon, Alder Mary Land, Alder Sandy Weidner, Alder Tyler Townsend, Alder Malik Friazer, and Alder Henry Perez.

Additionally, we appreciate Mayor Cory Mason for engaging in constructive dialogue over the past week.

With this contract now finalized, we hope to move forward amicably with the City of Racine. Our focus will shift to negotiating our successor agreement.

We appreciate the support of our members and the community during this process and look forward to working together for a brighter future.
