🚨 Action Needed: please read this!! 🚨
We need Nebraska's help.
Please take the time to read up on LB 400.
It would provide critical workers’ compensation protections for firefighters diagnosed with cancer, recognizing the real risks they face in the line of duty. This bill was introduced to cover both volunteer and paid firefighters.
However, an amendment has been introduced that would remove volunteer firefighters from this coverage.
That is simply not acceptable. We deserve to be covered as well.
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of line-of-duty deaths among firefighters. Volunteer firefighters face the same dangers and exposures as paid departments, and they deserve the same protections.
Please take a moment to contact your State Senator today.
Ask them to:
Support LB 400 and OPPOSE any amendment that removes volunteer firefighter coverage.
Your voice matters. Help ensure Nebraska’s volunteer firefighters are not left behind!
