Host Luke Barrett is joined virtually by National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), Max Alonzo and Steve Gutierrez. Max and Steve joined the podcast to share the disparages in Wildland Firefighting such as earning a livable wage, retirement, support. housing, and better health screenings. If you fight fire long enough you will know someone diagnosed with cancer and for me it's been several friends diagnosed with aggressive cancer. I lost one friend to cancer and we had just jumped a fire together a few months prior. If Wildland Firefighters receive better health screenings these cancers will be caught at a manageable stage and treatment will be more successful. Help the Union get these much needed changes by calling your state representative, congressman, or any politician and urging them to support Wildland Firefighters. For more information go to www.nffe.org
