Dear Brother/Sister,
INDUSTRIAL ACTION: PENSIONS IN THE FIRE SERVICE
Call for Industrial Action
Members have been informed of the result of the ballot for industrial action short of a strike. That ballot was in addition to the previous ballot for strike action which did not include control members.
As the person authorised to make the call for industrial action, I now confirm that this discontinuous industrial action will commence and terminate at the times and on the dates specified below:
Commencing 12th June 2014 from 09.00 hours until 13th June 2014 at 09.00 hours– strike action (firefighters in England and Wales).
Commencing 21st June 2014 from 10.00 hours until 21st June 2014 at 17.00 hours – Strike action (firefighters in England and Wales).
Commencing 13th June 2014 from 09.00.00 hours until 21st June 2014 at 10.00 hours – industrial action short of a strike (firefighters in England and Wales).
Commencing 21st June 2014 from 17.00.00 hours until 22nd June 2014 at 09.00 hours – industrial action short of a strike (firefighters in England and Wales).
Commencing 12th June 2014 from 09.00 hours until 22nd June 2014 at 09.00 hours – industrial action short of a strike,(firefighters in Scotland).
These are the times/dates which have been determined upon. We hope the matter will be resolved shortly. If not, further dates/details in respect of this ongoing industrial action will be notified once determined. Members in England, Scotland and Wales are now called upon to take industrial action on and not earlier than the dates and times specified above and on any further dates to be so notified.
Details of action short of a strike to be taken will be circulated prior to the appropriate time by way of a further circular and published on www.fbu.org.uk
NB. Control member includes those who have been transferred from control duties but remain eligible for the same pension schemes as control members.
Yours fraternally,
MATT WRACK
General Secretary
