The city firefighters’ union, Local 825, filed a four-count lawsuit alleging a breach of fiduciary duty against the Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut, a union which represents the state’s fire departments.
“Have you ever had anyone demand money from you? It happens all the time: spam emails, unsolicited phone calls and junk mail,” said Frank Ricci, a battalion chief and president of Local 825. “These scammers intimidate and harass to get their hands on your hard-earned money without doing the hard work of actually earning it. Today, it’s time to add another scammer to that list: the leaders of the Connecticut state firefighters’ union, the Uniformed Professional Fire Firefighters Association.”
