“Now it is time for IAFF members to put aside the disputes and the bitter feelings which arise out of the convention and the election contests, and to work unitedly to build the union. With layoffs and budget cuts looming throughout the country, the IAFF has a solemn obligation to its members to fight for proper manning of fire departments, and for adequate pay and security, so the fire service will not fall victim to false economies that can create a heavy cost in both lives and property for the people of our country.”John A. Gannon, IAFF President (1980-1988)
