'We're struggling' | Charlotte firefighters push for pay raises ahead of city budget proposal

Charlotte firefighters are warning that they could be excluded from upcoming first responder pay raises, which would break a longstanding tradition of pay parity with CMPD officers. They are urging city leaders to fix this issue before next year's budget is finalized, citing low pay as a reason for struggling to recruit new firefighters. Firefighters say they work multiple jobs to make ends meet.
