Approach
In 2005, in an effort to curtail rising
health insurance costs for both the
employer and employee, the City of
Lewiston and Lewiston Local 785 adopted the
Fire Service Joint Labor Management
Wellness-Fitness Initiative (WFI). All
members who participate in the WFI are
given full credit available towards
health insurance cost containment
programs.
Both parties continue to promote the
Fire Service Joint Labor Management
Wellness-Fitness Initiative and
demonstrate their support. To best serve its residents, health and
fitness are some of the principal
concerns for all members of the fire
department. In recognition, the City has
provided the resources necessary to
continue this program as it currently is
defined for the benefit of the residents
and fire fighters alike.
