Fairness At Work
Fairness at Work. The union continued during 2007 to campaign and strive to make the Fire and Rescue Service a fairer place for all workers. The levels of Bullying and Harassment being experienced by our members remain unacceptable. Work in this area will continue until there is a zero tolerance of such behaviour. The following paragraphs are from the union’s 2007 annual report and reflect the work being carried out on behalf of all members.

Maternity/Paternity/Adoption policies and other family support
