Following the monthly union meeting of IAFF Local 141, members re-convened at Mackinaw's Food and Spirits to follow through on a yearlong endeavor of merging various IAFF local unions. Union leaders from Allouez Locals 2477 and 4226 and DePere Local 1998 along with those from Local 141 signed a merger agreement that will significantly change the union fire fighter landscape for years to come. The agreement specifically brings together the 4 locals under the umbrella and current leadership of Local 141. It also brings into the fold all the talents, creativity, and assets of the locals so that together, we all become stronger with a single, unified voice. Within the next month, the ASIA (Austin Straubel International Airport) fire fighters may also be merging with Local 141. That approval will come from the members following a referendum ballot in early March. Before any merger is completely final, each individual merger will be debated and voted on by the Executive Board of the IAFF. Following the approval of the IAFF and the revocation of their charter, they would officially become members of IAFF Local 141.
