Fourth of July is just around the corner! 🎆 When driving, remember: 🔹 Buckle Up. Phone Down. 🔹 Be mindful of fireworks and stay alert. 🔹 Have a sober ride home. If you feel different, you drive different.

While @BoeingFFs are locked out 3,000 miles away, the @IAFFofficial and Labor showed up at @Boeing’s DC-area HQ to say: It’s time for #Boeing to put #safety first! Pay fire fighters fairly for their critical work.
