As an employee of a special district government, your conditions of employment are largely defined by state and local lawmakers.  Often these lawmakers do not have the best interests of their employees in mind when crafting and passing legislation, but rather focus on their budget's bottom lines.

Local 1696 and the PFFU are actively engaged in educating lawmakers so that they are aware of the interests of the public safety providers.  Political lobbying occurs at the local, state and national levels.
