FDNY Deputy Chief and President of Merit Matters Paul Mannix Interview January 25

[1SadBoxer]

when is that appeal coming ? What is the status of it ?

[fdnyesu]

THERE never happy till they get there way

maybe its just me but if my house is on fire I want FFs that are qualifyd to do the job not someone who cant if you cant pass the written test then the FDNY is not for you

[Bxdeutch]

This hurts the minorities that are on the job by going through proper channels.Hispanic ff's have been stedily increasing on the job so it hurts them to be "grouped" w /the vulcans...simple test,free of charge,free test prep, wake up calls,transportation to and from, multiple "right" answers,what else could u ask for....Why not do away w/ the test and just appoint blacks( who have never grown up desiring this job)......It is the civilians of nyc who will ultimately pay the price...

[bpfnyc]

Every FF no matter what there race or gender should be outraged. What is the city going to do about the other agencies; transit, corrections etc having to few white people and too many blacks and hispanics? Who are racists in this country? Really? Someone remind them that this country voted a black man into the Presidency... Enough is enough!!

[bpfnyc]

What a Joke. All the minorities on the job should be offended since all of their hard work and determination has just been completely diminished.

[sumaruma72]

Thanks Chief. As far as the minority firefighters on the job now I would be outraged that this is going on. You got the job by your hard work and dedication. Why should anyone be different???

[treyplus4203383]

its good to see people stepping up and saying what is on everyones mind, your voice is the voice of the fire department and keep speaking it

[fdnyesu]

GREAT VIDEO keep on fighting dont let the vulcan society win why should the FDNY lower its standards to them they need to realize those questions are on the test for a reason if you cant answer them then the FDNY is not for you

[YOBABYBUBBA]

This whole subject has alway's made me sick. Just another example of one group trying to get something for nothing. Way to go Chief.

Keep up the good work Chief Mannix! The public needs to know of this ridiculous decision by Judge Judge Nicholas Garaufis.
