#2,382 - Dolton firefighters confront Supermayor on missing retirement and heal care premiums

News For Reasonable People

They say where there’s smoke there’s fire, which is why more than a dozen firefighters in south suburban Dolton are going public with their concerns about the controversies smoldering at village hall.

On Monday, those firefighters confronted Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard at a village board meeting, demanding to know where their money is.

"I’m here today with fellow members… looking for answers," said Adam Farej, Dolton Firefighter’s Union President.

Farej came with a list of questions and grievances. On Tuesday, he told FOX 32 the firefighters spoke publicly at the meeting because they'd simply had enough.

"With everything going on in the village and the media, at some point we have to put our foot down and get answers to the questions we have," Farej said.

The Dolton firefighters have been working without a pay raise or a new contract for the past four years, and they worry Dolton isn’t paying their insurance premiums because they’re getting stuck with big medical bills.
