For the NOLA peeps: Has any group whined as much as NOFD in your lifetime?

I've been hearing about their "plight" since I was a kid and that was over 30 years ago. They are the poster child for why unions suck and they are never happy. They hold the city hostage and have grossly mismanaged retirement monies yet they complain that retirees aren't being paid. What am I missing here?

They also get paid like, $18,000 a year.
You want to do it and get shite on for that much money? By all means, join them.

I used to love when Chief William McCrossen would appear on the NOLA tv news and talk about a fire. Great voice. RIP.

You should probably look into why they are constantly bitching before laughing at them. They get paid shite and have been shafted for years, and years, and years, and years with the BBC every chance they get. All the while, you've gotten your fires' put out. Direct this kind of rhetoric towards the S&WB.

I think you've been hearing about it for 30 years because the city has been appealing the ruling for that long. Those fireman are still bitching about the same singlular issue that the city won't settle. Like 8 administration's have kept up this fight. The city made promises to stem the flight to other cities and doesn't want to pay. They offer pennies on the dollar, to be paid after most initial fireman will be long dead. The pension is a total other issue. Because they suck at investing money, they don't deserve an unrelated claim that they've sued for and won... A bunch of times? Full didclosure: my dad was a no fireman for a bunch of yrars

I hope that should you ever need them they show up, do their job and then you can ask them in person just what they're bitching about.

You do know there are two seperate disputes, one over back pay and the other over the pension.
