Glendale firefighters will meet on Wednesday to vote on whether to make changes to an existing contract with the City of Glendale.
If passed, Glendale firefighters will forego approximately $600,000 in salaries and benefits for fiscal year 2009-10.
"We realize that thousands of City employees are being asked to make sacrifices and our firefighters will vote to be allowed to share that sacrifice," said John Holland, Glendale Fire Captain and Local 493 Glendale Chapter Vice President.
"Traditionally Glendale firefighters have generously given time, effort and in many cases, money to meet the needs of our community, on and off duty.
"The savings could save City jobs which could benefit overall City services but also benefit families that would otherwise be impacted directly," Captain Holland continued.
