Brotherhood?

Yesterday evening the Manchester NH Fire Local 856 hosted a march at city hall. The local, much like many others across the nation, are working without a contract, and they recently had a vote of "no confidence" in their fire chief of 162 - 0. A request went out to other locals across the state for a show of support, and bodies for the march. There were in the ballpark of 170+ marching, along with the PFFNH Pipes and Drums performing in the midst. It was good to see members from our local 1045 show up. As often as the word "Brotherhood" gets thrown around today I would have expected quite a few of our members present, but only 10 managed to show up. That is only 8%. Thanks to Brothers Moretto, Verville, Clark, Pepin, Cole, Sirois, Boissonneault, Collins, and Sister Folsom for representing Local 1045.
