YOUGOV ONLINE SURVEY – FBU MEMBERS’ ATTITUDE TO PENSION CHANGES

What is the purpose of this survey?

You will be aware of the Government’s proposed changes to the firefighters’ pension schemes which will mean many FBU members will have to ‘Work longer, Pay more and Get less’.

Dear Brother/Sister

PAY 2010/2011

EC Member Tam McFarlane has written the above letter to all MPs in the South West urging them to support Firefighters by telling the Government 'NO to Pension cuts'. 

FBU members should write to their MPs on this important subject.  You can use this letter as a template or write your own.  Just do it!

Please find above a copy of the South West TUC e-newsletter UnionsSouthWest.

Please find above a briefing document put together by Thompsons Solicitors in relation to the TUC event being held 26th March 2011.

The government is attacking firefighters’ pensions. It wants firefighters to pay more, work for longer and still end up with less at retirement.

The above bulletin explains the FBU’s assessment and what union members can do to campaign against these changes.
