SAUGATUCK TWP. Firefighters with the Saugatuck Township Fire District voted to form a union last year and are in the process of finalizing a collective-bargaining agreement with the Saugatuck Township Fire District Board and Fire Chief Greg Janik.
According to union president Capt. Mike Betts, the decision to unionize did not come from firefighters dissatisfaction with their pay or their employer.
Instead, Betts said, they primarily wanted to become an active part of the state and international firefighters unions, which provide resources and political advocacy on behalf of firefighters.
They also wanted to protect themselves, their benefits for the future, and to encourage retention of career firefighters in the department.

City Councillor Annissa Essaibi George secured an endorsement on Monday from Boston’s firefighters, who promised in a statement that they “will be heard and celebrated” in an Essaibi George administration.
The sitting at-large councillor, a Dorchester resident, has also received endorsements from former Boston Police Commissioner William Gross and from the Massachusetts Nurses Association.
John Soares, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 718, joined other union leaders at Florian Hall to announce the endorsement, the second that George has collected from the first-responder community during her campaign.

International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 718, today formally endorsed Councilor Annissa Essaibi George in her bid to become mayor. In a statement, local President John Soares said:
Since her early days on the Boston City Council, she has demonstrated her unwavering commitment and support for Boston’s first responders. From showing up at our firehouses with coffee, to picking up the phone to check in on our brave men and women, to advocating for investments in our health and safety, she has our backs and we have unanimously voted to have hers in this race.
The New York Times takes note of the Markyverse, the teens who worked to re-elect Ed Markey and who have now turned their enthusiasm towards Councilor Michelle Wu in her race for mayor.
