MWAA Professional Firefighters - L3217

We are calling on our community for support. IAFF Local 3217 has spent years attempting to work collaboratively with MWAA to secure fair and competitive compensation for the firefighters who protect DCA and IAD every day.

At our core is a deep sense of pride, responsibility, and commitment to making a difference when it matters most.

Our providers don’t just do a job they answer a calling. We stand ready 24/7 to care for our community in their most vulnerable moments, treating every patient with dignity, respect, and the highest level of clinical excellence.

L3217 takes great pride in delivering exceptional EMS care to our community. We are committed to ensuring that every patient is transported to the most appropriate and optimal medical facility, because we know that where a patient goes can be just as critical as their field care.

Other jurisdictions are moving forward. Our members are still waiting. We are ready. We have been ready. The question remains: When will MWAA come to the table?

For years, the members of Local 3217 have stood united in one clear message: firefighters and EMS professionals deserve a voice. This week, that message was recognized in a major way.

A long fought victory, this will provide Virginia’s public service workers the ability to collectively bargain with their employers for wages, benefits and working conditions. For news release, please visit our website: vpff.org/news/

🔥The first fire prevention legislation in the United States was passed #OnThisDay in #Massachusetts in 1631. The ordinance banned thatched roofs and wooden chimneys.

Our members have been working this weekend at a rare opportunity, training on abandoned structures at @Reagan_Airport . This allows our members for training on search, hoseline, and ventilation tactics in real buildings under realistic conditions @MWAAFireRescue #IAFF #union

Thank you @RepDexterOR for standing with us on the picket line at PDX this afternoon. Horizon AFA Flight Attendants and Flight Attendants around the industry are united for fair contracts and we will not stop fighting for the wages and work protections we’ve earned!

Good morning from @Dulles_Airport

You can help. We encourage our supporters to respectfully reach out to the Board Members of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and your government officials. Let them know you support full collective bargaining rights for Local 3217 and the professionals we represent.
