Active Retiree Dues
Local 1488 Retirees,
I encourage those of you that are eligible to maintain your union membership as an Active Retired member of Local 1488. If you have been retired for more than 10 years but paid Active-Retired dues in 2026 you are still eligible to renew your dues. Active Retired members continue to be members of the IAFF, WSCFF, and Local 1488.
You will have a voice and vote at our monthly meetings with the exceptions previously listed, access to use the Union building, receive Union communication from the Executive Board, have access to our Local website, and can purchase IAFF and Local 1488 merchandise.
In accordance with our Constitution and By-Laws Article IV: Section 2.
“Members who have retired from this Local or have otherwise withdrawn as members in good standing, may be allowed to return to this Local within ten (10) years as Active-Retired members. Active-Retired members have a voice and vote in the Local, however shall be excluded from bargaining unit votes such as Collective Bargaining Agreements, Letters of Understanding, Standard Operating Guidelines or other similar agreements.”
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be more than happy to assist you.
In Solidarity,
Jason Lech
Secretary/Treasurer
