[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great until your house burns down or you need to be extricated from a totaled car. I’m pro-vax, but I think this is going to backfire.[/quote]

Nope.

You see there is a waitlist of people wanting that job. Yay. They will now be moved up. The old boys club will be trashed. Fun stuff.

Let them go idiots.[/quote]
Firefighters are overpaid PUBLIC funded employees. Their unions fight to keep their pay hire and WMT pay low (who just happen to be more women and people of color). It’s an old boys club racket and I am hear for this. Same with Police. PUBLIC funds, my money, your money.

Get the vaccine or find another line of work.[/quote]

Anyone worried about them leaving in large numbers is foolish.  Firefighters are highly paid and many only have a high school diploma.  That salary with that education level is nearly impossible to replicate.  If someone quits their job because they don't want a COVID shot then they're to dumb to be a firefighter anyway.[/quote]

Plenty of firefighters have college degrees now. At the very least they’ve gone through training at a fire academy. There are several firefighters in my family and I’ve heard it’s not as difficult to get hired now (ie the waitlist is much shorter). But the skills aren’t really transferable to professions that would not require the vaccine so I don’t believe DC firefighters will quit. [/quote]
