March 12, 2010 — Fire fighter and police lobbyists view this Congress as the best chance in years to expand collective bargaining rights for public safety workers.

We have leadership in both houses who have committed to put it on the floor. And we have the votes to pass it,” said IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.
