PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A dispute between black firefighters and Philadelphia's firefighters' union over alleged anti-minority sentiment has been settled.
Club Valiants Inc. and the local branch of the
International Association of Fire Fighters say they're working to thaw a frosty
relationship that prompted a 2009 civil rights lawsuit involving the NAACP.
In a joint statement released Wednesday, the
parties say they've agreed to work together to "foster respect, unity and
diversity among their members."
