As described in The Fiery Struggle, the creation of the AFFI's Political Action Committee was perhaps the single most critical component to passing the Collective Bargaining Bill in 1985.
Starting at just $1 per member per month in 1978, this fund would put the AFFI on its way to becoming a political powerhouse in Springfield. #makehistoryhappen #throwbackthursday

Most people today have no idea how important getting collective bargaining in this state was, and getting it in 1985 with a Republican governor too.

Congratulations Dolton IAFF Local 3766 on ratifying your new contract after more than four years of work! 
This is a great example of endurance by a local and collaboration with the right elected officials.
