Strike Back At ‘Empire’Fire Unions: Members Earned Their Pensions
Posted: Monday, June 22, 2015 5:00 pm | Updated: 5:02 pm, Mon Jun 22, 2015.
Uniformed Fire Officers Association President James Lemonda last week heartily defended the pensions of his retired members after the amounts—which averaged more than $100,000 a year for those who retired in 2014—were published online by the non-profit Empire Center for Public Policy.
The fiscally-conservative watchdog group was granted access to the data by a State Supreme Court Justice in April after a four-year tussle with the UFOA, which sued to keep it private. The union claimed the release would violate members’ privacy.
