Ding Ding- Round 66 in the fire-fighters strike.
Solidarity!!!
Members of the Fire Brigades Union have refused to roll over and accept attacks to their pensions.
The government want fire-fighters to
- pay more- 13% of their salary
- work til they're 60- I don't know what good a 60 year old would be in a blazing inferno but whatevs, get in that burning building lad
- get less- you'd have to work for 40 years in the fire service to get your full pension. As it stands, the stringent fitness standards mean most wouldn't qualify. Pisstake.
It was Labour's idea to make fire-fighters work until they're 60 in the first place. The ConDems are just picking up where Labour left off.
FBU website, personified here by their General Secretary, Matt Wrack said:
Sounds familiar.
Nurses, fire-fighters, teachers- we need a political voice of our own.
