Welcome to Evanston Fire Fighters Association Local 742
Welcome to the
Evanston Fire Fighters Association Local 742 Home Page! Local
742 was chartered on February 1, 1943. Since that time, the
Evanston Fire Department and the Evanston Fire Fighters
Association have endured many changes and prevailed through some
turbulent times. In 1974, the Evanston
Fire Fighters were the
third International Association of Fire Fighters Local in
Illinois to strike for our Members benefits. Today, Local 742
remains a very
strong local, with membership beginning with the
entry level fire fighter, continuing through Battalion Chief's.

Evanston
Firefighters Say No To Layoffs
'Do we have to concede
whatever the other bargaining units come up
with?'
To view on YouTube, click here:
Brian Scott, President of the Firefighters union
in Evanston, Illinois delivered and powerful
message to the Evanston City Council on Monday,
June 21, 2010. City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz is
trying to lay off 3 firefighters/paramedics in a
bid to exert unfair pressure on the union as it
tries to bargain in good faith on a new
contract. "I was told", Brian Scott told the
meeting, "that as long as you go along with
whatever the police officers were awarded in
arbitration, just go with whatever AFSCME
settled with a couple weeks later, this all will
go away. Is this how the city now negotiates in
good faith? We're going to lay off firefighters
for arbitrations that haven't begun, for awards
that don't even exist? In the future is the City
going to start off every contract negotiation
with laying off a couple of firefighters just in
case things don't go their way? Are we allowed
to negotiate our own contracts, or do we have to
kind of just concede whatever the other
bargaining units come up with, or else?"
President Brian Scott's full speech. For more

The Fireman's
Park Rededication Ceremony was held on Thursday, July 22,
2010. Local 742 would like to extend our heart felt
gratitude to all those who came to help us rededicate this
special park. Thanks to the supporters, the neighbors, the
local members who worked countless hours, those who purchased
bricks and benches, those who came to the ceremony from other
Local's and the AFFI Honor Guard, Evanston Honor Guard, Evanston
Police Department Honor Guard, all of our distinguished guests
and speakers, Interim Chief Greg Klaiber, and all who came to
honor those who have selflessly sacrificed their lives in the
Line of Duty and our fallen comrades' that have served the
Evanston Fire Department. It was a wonderful tribute, and
we hope the neighborhood enjoys the park for years to come.
Although
"Friends of Firemen’s Park" is now completed, your opportunity
to purchase bricks for the park has not run out. Orders
are still being taken.
Your name or loved one will be deeply engraved
into a brick and will
permanently be displayed at Firemen’s
Park, located at Simpson and Maple.
What a way to leave a
lasting impression.
All Proceeds
will used to maintain Firemen’s Park

NEXT UNION MEETING AUGUST 10, 2010

Please sign up both current and Retired Members so
that you don't miss important announcements such as retirements,
funerals, current events, etc. Too many times Brothers and
Sisters miss out on these events due to a Kelly Day, vacation
day, etc. By joining the list, I will be able to send out
a notification to each member who signs up to keep you all
better informed as to what is going on. To help in that,
if you have information about a funeral notification or event,
please e-mail Jeff Boetto at:
FyrEater21@aol.com
to let me know the information so it can be passed along.
