Save Clearwaterfire.orgFlorida’s Professional Firefighters Announce Boycott of the City of Clearwater
The Florida Professional Firefighters today is urging
its 26,000 members, along with the 280,000 professional fire fighters across the nation and Canada, to boycott
the City of Clearwater for their unethical and illegal treatment of its fire fighters.
The boycott stems
from several years of issues ranging from illegal demotions and firings, to sexual harassment of female firefighters by Clearwater
city manager William Horne and Clearwater Fire Chief Jamie Geer.
The taxpayers of Clearwater have spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars funding a personal war by Horne and Geer against the Clearwater Fire Fighters Association
(CFFA). This personal war has led to defeat in every legal battle Clearwater has entered in to.
In addition
to the money already spent, Clearwater taxpayers have yet to pay for the 26 pending grievances and 1 sexual discrimination
case that has yet to be resolved. In tough financial times, the potential to exceed $1 Million in costs is a reality,
not a dream.
In response to the way the City of Clearwater has decided to treat its fire fighters, all firefighters
coming to Florida are being advised to avoid the Clearwater area as a vacation destination. All
fire fighters living in the area are asked to spend their money in neighboring cities and not Clearwater. This boycott will last as long as Clearwater Firefighters
are treated as second-class citizens.
For more information on the boycott, as well as the illegal treatment of
Clearwater’s firefighters, contact:
- John Lee, President of the Clearwater Firefighters Association
at (727) 804-5064.
- David Hogan, Secretary/Treasurer of the Clearwater Firefighters Assn. (727)
647-5659

"Sticker club"
Please remove all IAFF markings
from your vehicle when selling, trading-in, etc. The IAFF logo is universally known and respected and identifies both them
and their family members as part of an elite profession and connected to Organized Labor. IAFF decals and emblems should not be given or sold to any individuals or non-family members who are not IAFF members.
What you perceive to be a friendly gesture may be viewed by a police officer as illegal. Police in some states have interpreted
the displaying of an IAFF or fire department logo by individuals who are not firefighters or the immediate family member of
a firefighter as impersonating a firefighter, which is illegal in most states.
DO THE RIGHT THING. REMOVE IAFF DECALS WHEN DISPOSING
OF A MOTOR VEHICLE IN ANY WAY.
