STATter 911: Enforcing the "two hat" rules. How one New York IAFF local is handling ban on volunteering. A look at the City of Jamestown.

Link to another Blog and the issue is the Two Hatter rules and IAAF. This has come up once and a while, you should read some of the comments they make valid points I esepcially like the one.

"To be consistent, the IAFF should also prohibit its members from part time work on their off days as painters, plumbers, truck drivers, carpenters and other skilled trades, since they are taking work/jobs away from other "brothers" in other unions. Additionally, members should only be using union labor for work and other services they may need (house painting, plumping, etc)."

In the far southwestern corner of New York State, the City of Jamestown has operated a career fire department for almost 100 years. Jamestown has four fire stations, with three engines and a ladder company.
IAFF Local 1772 represents the firefighters of Jamestown. The union is making news in Jamestown and surrounding Chautauqua County with its enforcement of IAFF's "two hat" rule. The Jamestown Professional Firefighters Association has set April 1 as the deadline for firefighters to choose between volunteering and being an IAFF member.
