Houston Fire Union President Getting City Job Back After Arbitrator 95 of 105 Houston . Marty Lancton, the head of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association, gets ready to speak during a march on City Hall over the labor dispute related to Proposition B on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, in Houston.

He has worked on two teams named Pulitzer finalists in recent years for covering Hurricane Harvey and for helping show how Texas unlawfully denied education services to children with special needs.

Against the backdrop of two, major, pending lawsuits with the City of Houston, with hundreds of millions of dollars past and future firefighter pay in the balance, Lancton is calling the wage denial "blatant retaliation". In a city with a lackluster labor movement that has rarely challenged authority, the protest was a rarity.
