The City of Greater Sudbury needs to review its staffing levels and the impact of increasing overtime on firefighters, Professional Firefighters Association president Mike Squarzolo said
With overtime demands skyrocketing in recent years, Sudbury Professional Firefighters Association president Mike Squarzolo is urging the city to review the issue.
The city spent $1.15 million on career firefighter overtime in 2019, and the overtime figure hit $2.28 million by 2022. During last month’s 2023 budget deliberations, city council deferred a business case proposing the addition of four full-time firefighters, to 2024 budget talks. By deferring the business case to 2024 budget talks, city CAO Ed Archer told Sudbury.com that the city will have time to determine the best way of tackling the issue.
“We are doing what we can as an employer to make sure that people who come to work are not just physically safe, but also mentally, in a safe space to go home.”
