The Philadelphia Fire Fighters’ and Paramedics’ Union has planned a demonstration to express dissatisfaction with the actions of Commissioner Ayers and Mayor Michael Nutter for demoting 14 Fire Fighters who were previously promoted.

The city has once again elected to act as swiftly as possible to demote our brothers. We currently have an appeal pending in the Commonwealth Court, but without an order from the court, Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers will be unjustly demoting these members on Wednesday, October 2, 2013.

To add to their insult and indignation he plans on parading them through Fire Headquarters in an individual demotion ceremony beginning at 9 am.

Please join us on Wednesday 10/2 beginning a 9 am at 3rd and Springgarden St to show our support for our Firefighters and our dissatisfaction with the actions of Commissioner Ayers and Mayor Michael Nutter.

Fraternally,

Joe Schulle
