For over three years, Suisun City’s labor groups have tried to resolve serious concerns regarding how the City calculates overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Now, the City is attempting to bypass proper bargaining and implement a citywide policy that forces undervalued overtime calculations.

We aren’t asking the City to stop implementing its new Tyler payroll system—we are asking them to do it without forcing disputed changes to employee compensation through the transition.

This dispute is about more than just numbers or a payroll system; it impacts staff morale, recruitment, retention, and ultimately the reliable public safety services our community depends on.

What we are asking for:
* Implement Tyler without changing the disputed overtime methodology.
* Maintain the status quo while legal and bargaining procedures play out.
* Honor existing labor agreements and bargain proposed compensation changes properly.
* Resolve outstanding FLSA grievances and historical payroll issues.

Tyler is a payroll system. It should not become the reason employee compensation is undermined.

OFFICIAL CPF LABOR ALERT: DO NOT APPLY
TO: All CPF District Vice Presidents, Local Presidents, and Members
FROM: California Professional Firefighters
SUBJECT: DO NOT APPLY – AMERICAN CANYON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
STATUS: ACTIVE SANCTION

Brothers and Sisters:
The American Canyon Fire Protection District is currently recruiting outside hires for the position of Battalion Chief, a position that is clearly represented by the Solano Napa County Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 1186. This outside recruitment was announced with no prior communication with our bargaining unit despite full knowledge that multiple current members within our own ranks will be ready and qualified to test for this promotional opportunity in February of 2027.

The decision by the American Canyon FPD Fire Chief was not only deceptive, but also serves as yet another example of recent decision-making policies that have led to detrimental services to our local community while undermining our union members who continue to strive to provide exceptional fire and emergency service to the City of American Canyon.


Legal Standing of the Notice
Cities have historically challenged these notices as illegal boycotts or defamation. However, the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) ruled in precedents like City of Santa Maria (2020) that a “Do Not Apply” notice constitutes a presumptively protected communication under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), affirming unions’ rights to publicize disputes.

🚒 **Serving Our Community Beyond the Firehouse!** ❤️

Yesterday, members of the Fairfield Professional Firefighters Association joined the Fairfield Police Officers Association at St. Mark’s Church for the annual **Back-to-School Resource Fair**, helping local families get ready for the school year.

Our members fired up the grills and cooked, wrapped, and handed out **more than 1,200 hot dogs** to families attending the event. We also brought plenty of fun for the kids with a **bubble party**!

We were honored to receive thanks from attending City Council members, school district representatives, and several council candidates for the work our members do to support the Fairfield community.

**Serving Fairfield isn’t just about answering calls—it’s about being part of the community we’re sworn to protect.** ❤️‍🔥

PRESS RELEASE addressing the growing workforce challenges affecting the Fairfield Fire Department alongside many other departments across California.

Firefighters are confronted with persistent staffing shortages, elevated rates of occupational cancer, and increasing workplace injuries resulting from the physically demanding and hazardous nature of our profession.

Information recently shared by KCRA regarding local public safety compensation amounts failed to disclose the overtime figures created by the challenges listed above. Salaries shared by KCRA represent thousands of additional work hours. Hours which our firefighters spend away from their families, committed to protecting the life and property of our citizens.

We share this information to ensure our local community receives fully transparent stories rather than cherry picked data points.
