Merry Christmas Mehlville Fire Dept Captains

On the 21st of December, a decision was rendered by Missouri's State Board of Mediation in favor of the IAFF 1889 (Local 1889).
In April of 2010, the Mehlville Fire Protection Board of Directors filed a clarification petition seeking to exclude captains from Local 1889's bargaining unit.
It's interesting to note that former State Representative James Avery is chairman of the MO Board of Mediation.
This is obviously good news for the captains in the district. The district's BOD and new chief continue to attack the men and women of the district and they need all the protection they can get.
