Senators propose amendment to increase federal wildland firefighter pay cap, ensuring proper compensation for their critical work.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Mark Kelly, alongside a bipartisan group of colleagues, has introduced an amendment aiming to permanently increase the annual pay cap for federal wildland firefighters. The proposed amendment applies to the National Defense Authorization Act currently under Senate consideration.
Senator Kelly highlighted the risks firefighters take, stating, "That dedication deserves more than just our thanks." Others, like Senator Michael Bennet, emphasized the importance of fair compensation in maintaining firefighter morale amidst increasing wildfire risks.
The amendment seeks to rectify an issue where some firefighters exceed their pay cap, forcing them to decline critical assignments. This initiative follows a recent decision that allowed a base pay increase without accommodating additional pay for overtime.
