A statement by Los Angeles Fire Chief William Bamattre:
"The Fire Department was made aware of the City of Los Angeles settlement in the Mr. Pierce lawsuit. The Fire Department takes this and all work place environment issues seriously. It has been, and remains our goal, to create a positive work place environment that supports all men and women that comprise the workforce of the Fire Department.
We are currently working closely with the Fire Commission and all stakeholder organizations, including the Chief Officer Association, the Sirens (women firefighters), Los Bomberos, and the Stentorians to address all Fire Department Human Relations issues. This is being accomplished through a series of planning sessions to develop a comprehensive Strategic Implementation Plan that addresses all issues raised in the City Controller’s Audits affecting the Fire Department."

(This "non-statement"is)Just another missed opportunity to demonstrate true leadership by our Chief Engineer.
That is exactly what I thought when I read that and he's the leader?
Why is it that Councilman Zine comes out and calls it like it is and Chief Bamattre refuses to. Like Mr. Zine said when he voted against this ridiculous monetary award "Firefighters and police officers play pranks on each other", this was not racially motivated. Chief Bamattre please stop allowing the entire LAFD to be painted with the same brush and say something in our defense.
HERE, HERE!
Where have all the real men and olde style chiefs gone.
3 years and a wake-up, thank god!
