Pensions update

Our last period of strike action took place on 13 November. Once again we saw enormous solidarity from FBU members and, on behalf of the Executive Council I would like to pay tribute to all concerned. We have again heard widespread reports of high levels of public support and sympathy for our action.

Dear Brother/Sister,

YouGov Survey 2013 – Members views on the current pension proposals

The FBU has previously used information from YouGov surveys to provide supporting evidence about the attitudes of firefighters towards the government’s pension proposals. This type of information has already been key in our responses both on the affordability and workability of the current proposals.
