Denver Firefighters Battle $388K Dues Bill | Denver News

Denver firefighters are locked in a high-stakes legal battle over $388,000 in unpaid union dues after their local chapter, Local 858, voted to break away from the statewide CPFF nearly two years ago. The locals argue they’ve never needed CPFF’s services—and now risk losing hard-won member benefits like mental health support if forced back into the state union. Meanwhile, CPFF claims the split was illegal, citing procedural violations and even hinting at misconduct among local leaders. Despite the drama, Denver’s fire service remains unaffected—though the outcome could reshape how firefighters across Colorado organize.
