Ann Arbor Firefighters Local 693 is in need of support for an informational picket to prevent layoffs to our firefighters and educate citizens about the impact layoffs would have to them. Local 693 members will meet supporters at Fire Station 1 on Monday, May 3, beginning at 5:00pm, located at the corner of N. Fifth Ave and Ann Street with the picket to begin thereafter until 7:30pm. There is a public hearing that evening beginning at 7:00pm. The city administrator has proposed cutting 20 firefighters from our staffing which would greatly impact our ability to operate in an effective manner. Fraternally, Matt Schroeder President Ann Arbor Firefighters Local 693
