Baltimore City’s Fraternal Order of Police and Firefighters Unions Scheduled for Symbolic Waves to Show “We Stand By Our Oath,” Demonstrating Pride for Public Service to the City’s Citizens Symbolic Wave Scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday
What:
Baltimore’s Fraternal Order of Police and Firefighters Unions will hold two rallies this week, waving to citizens underneath the organizations’ billboard, to show pride in representing the City’s citizens and the level in which they care about public safety despite a lack of support from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and some members of the Baltimore City Council.
The billboard, which is in downtown Baltimore on the eastside of I-83 south of Fallsway, is visible from President St. and strategically located near City Hall on one of the main arteries into the city so that drivers are greeted upon entrance to the city with the message, “Welcome to Baltimore. Home to a Mayor and City Council who turned their backs on our police and firefighters.”
Baltimore’s FOP and Firefighters Unions will be dressed in shirts expressing their pride to represent the citizens of Baltimore, even when the city’s government has broken contractual obligation to the unions, robbing them of benefits, of which they are legally entitled.
Changes in the pension system were enacted last month, but the unions have filed suit in federal court to challenge the legality of the changes.
Where:
Downtown Baltimore underneath Baltimore FOP and Firefighters Unions billboard
Eastside of I-83, South of Fallsway
When:
Tuesday, August 31, 4 p.m. & Wednesday, September 1, 7 a.m.
