On November 7^th, UFLAC Board Members attended the LAFD Fire Commission meeting to speak on a couple of agenda items and to give general public comment about the ongoing payroll problems and discrepancies that continue affecting our members and their families.

Secretary Adam Walker spoke next and informed the Fire Commissioners of the payroll issues that have been affecting our members since 2021. His comments included:
