The 51^st IAFF Biennial Convention took place in July 2012 in Philadelphia. There were a total of twenty-seven resolutions introduced at this convention, most of the resolutions which passed are Action resolutions and therefore they don’t carry any cost back to the members. However, some of the actions taken do require an expense that is passed on to us at the local and State levels. As an end result, the Resolutions which passed carrying an expense will increase in our monthly Per Capita dues to the International (our monthly dues to the International). The overall increase will amount to .19¢ per pay period, which will go into effect on paychecks beginning in October 2012; this Per Capita increase is in accordance with our Bylaws, Article IV, Section 5.
