The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud to announce that on Saturday, February 18th, 57% of Winslow Township residents voted “yes” to provide the Fire District the funding for two emergency response units instead of one. The additional unit will allow the Winslow Fire District to hire professional staff for round-the-clock fire and emergency service.
The Southern NJ Central Labor Council and International Association of Fire Fighters Local 3249 spearheaded the effort in favor of the referendum, working alongside the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, our affiliates and community partners. Together, we sent letters, text messages, made phone calls, shared information on social media and visited union members and their families at their homes in Winslow Township to educate them on the issues at stake and encourage them to vote for the referendum.
We would like to thank Southern NJ CLC President Sam Ferraino, President of IAFF Local 3249, Keith Kemery, our affiliates and all of our volunteers for everything they did in support of the referendum. |
