PENSIONS: STRIKE ACTION AND NEXT STEPS

TO:  ALL MEMBERS

Dear Brother/Sister,

Discussions have been ongoing with the Scottish Government and the Scottish Fire Service employers on the issue of pensions.  The latest draft of the design for the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme in Scotland, to be introduced from April 2015 (The 2015 Scheme), has been sent to ‘stakeholders’ for consideration.

MESSAGE OF SUPPORT FROM THE FBU REGIONAL SECRETARY

Yesterday was a difficult day for FBU members with some employers telling you that it's OK to ignore the democratic decision of your Union, who conducted a totally legal ballot of our membership. The idea that your Union has said it is ’OK’ to walk out is disingenuous. We are firefighters and we know how heart wrenching our decision has been for ALL of us.
