On July 28th, 2004 New York City Fire Department protests in front of City Hall demanding pay rises.

Stephen Cassidy, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association said that "The level of frustration for our police officers and firefighters is so high, I don't think anything can be ruled out."

"Rather than trying to intimidate the city, which is just not going to happen, with all of these protests, they'd be better off in coming to the table and trying to find productivity savings," Mayor Bloomberg responded.

One fire fighter got back: "He's a billionaire mayor treating us like he has no concept of the dollar."
