Members of the Richmond Firefighters Local 188 union have unanimously agreed to a vote of no confidence against Fire Chief Angel Montoya, the union’s president said.
Central to their grievances against Montoya are allegations that the fire chief has allowed staffing levels to get so low that firefighters have been forced to work an unreasonable number of hours with no time off to rest.
When the union expressed the need for programs to address firefighter mental health, Montoya dismissed these concerns as"union propaganda," Velazquez said. Union leadership also argues that Montoya is regularly absent from his office as he spends a considerable amount of time at his home in Orange County.
"If he doesn't go to those meetings, we don't have a seat at the table, Therefore, we don't have a voice," Velazquez said.
