    8-13-26 *INTERVIEW* Anthony Holtzman Representing Denver Fire Fighters Leaving State Union

    Denver firefighters are taking a stand against their state union, and it's a story that's got everyone talking. In this episode, we dive into the details of a lawsuit filed by the Denver Firefighters Union against the state union over a dispute about dues. The local firefighters claim they're being unfairly forced to pay thousands of dollars in dues to the state union, despite feeling they're not getting much in return. The local firefighters, represented by attorney Anthony Holtzman, argue that they've taken formal actions to disaffiliate from the state union, including a referendum vote by the membership. However, the state union claims that the local owes nearly $400,000 in unpaid dues. The case raises questions about the power of unions and the rights of local chapters to disaffiliate. The situation is complex, with the International Firefighters Union getting involved and claiming that the local must follow a specific provision in their constitution to disaffiliate. But the local firefighters' attorney believes that this provision doesn't apply in this case. It's a battle over money, power, and the rights of workers to make their own decisions. If you're interested in learning more about this fascinating case and the intricacies of union politics, tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation with attorney Anthony Holtzman.
