Employment protection for seasonal Wildland firefighters

The Issue

Greetings, 

How many times have you lost your job due to needing to take a fire assignment ? 
Am looking for signatures from other seasonal Wildland firefighters to provide to the NFFE-IAM about losing regular employment to help at times of crisis. 

NFFE-IAM is the union that represents Wildland firefighters in United States. 
They would like to see a show of hands of individuals who have had similar experiences. 
By drafting a bill to put in front of congress, our Brothers and sisters can take assignments and still have gainful employment opportunities after returning home from a fire assignment. 
This can become a National rule. 

The National Guard already has similar protections put into law since 1994 signed by Former President Bill Clinton. 

Please sign this petition and it will help all of us seasonal Wildland firefighters keep our jobs during the offseason to continue providing for our families and ourselves.
