• Ogdensburg Fire Department's minimum staffing debated again (nny360.com) — Ogdensburg officials are again clashing with firefighters over how many people should be on duty each shift, with the city cutting back overtime while union leaders and the fire chief insist five firefighters are needed for safety. The dispute centers on vacation staffing, OSHA rules, and whether changing minimum staffing violates the union contract, with both sides signaling they're willing to return to the bargaining table.
