Most NYC firefighters make more in retirement than most Florida firefighters make while in service and the time they've put in probably won't (usually won't) transfer out of state. The NYC firefighters need to make this a union issue - that's what they pay their dues for.
You'd rather have 70 y/o firefighters? How do you feel about military retirement? FYI: Most firefighters pay nearly 20% of their base pay into the retirement system and they won't be eligible for full SS either, no matter if they work side jobs and pay into SS their whole lives.
Florida is a free state and NYC is a demoncrap shithole and firefighters are treated like shit.
Yes but in NYC they get great benefits (paid by taxpayers) while in Florida they don't.
Choices have consequences.
You also probably won't be happy about what I think about 'the military' (cabal enforcement arm). Simply put, the US doesn't have a military, it has the continuation of the East India Company. Smedley Butler nailed it. It's even more true today.
But it's also besides the point because we're talking about state vs federal. NYC firefighters choose tyrrany because it comes with $ benefits. Well, that's usually how it goes.
Quit and move to Florida. I am sure you'll get hired right away. Firemen are always useful.
Let new yawk shitty deal with their own fires, in the best way they can.

Then they're part of the problem.
Milking 'state benefits' means you're bound by the demoncrap politicians. Enjoy.
