Relations with former mayor Rudy Giuliani
Officials with the union plan to campaign against Rudy Giuliani in his bid for the presidency in 2008. One official, John J. McDonnell, a battalion chief, says, "I don’t think the person in Nebraska has any idea yet how we feel.” "He probably assumes that we think he’s great.” [ [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/17/us/politics/17firefighters.html?hp Among Firefighters in New York, Mixed Views on Giuliani - New York Times ] ]
UFOA spokesman Martin Steadman criticized Giuliani for not adequately addressing the problem of faulty radios, first evidenced in the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. Over 200 firefighters in the Twin Towers were using the faulty analog radios that were used during the 1993 bombing. Steadman added, "We're saying he had eight years to solve that problem."
