Richard, respectfully (and I do genuinely mean that), your answer is just not good enough. The union simply does not get a free pass on this. The middle management and people responsible for this vehicles, and for this young man's training do not get a pass. Why are these firemen paying dues to a union that is not interested in finding the answers to the straight forward questions I've put forward? Because it's just easier to blame the guy at the top than to admit that you may have also failed in protecting this young man. Others have accountability here, most likely more so than the chief. No, this whole situation wreaks to high heaven, and I will not accept that it's all the Chief's fault, because it is not. To accept that it's all the Chief's fault is to also accept that the union has -0- safety protocols in place, provides -0- training on when a fireman should step back from a situation, provides -0- training for their firemen, and provides -0- HR type training for their members. if this is the case, why do they even exist? To collect dues and get Chief's fired? I sure hope the members of the union are getting more benefit than that, but no one will answer my questions. Curious. .
