Dolton Firefighters Demand Answers on Missing Retirement Funds and Denied Health Benefits

Firefighters in Dolton, Illinois, are raising serious concerns about the management of their retirement funds and health care benefits. According to the International Association of Firefighters Local 3766, deductions for retirement plans intended to go to Nationwide have not been properly allocated for over six months. Additionally, premiums for their health insurance, paid by the village, have reportedly not been received, leading to denied claims. These issues arise amid a lack of contract negotiations for nearly five years. Village officials claim they are working to resolve these problems, but union members express frustration over the lack of transparency and fear retaliation for speaking out. This situation highlights significant mismanagement and financial misallocation concerns within the village administration, impacting the firefighters' financial security and well-being.
