FBU Wales videos show pensions walkout and march

Fire Brigades Union members in Wales have produced two videos on the campaign to protect firefighters’ pensions.

In the first, firefighters are seen walking out from their fire station at the start of Wednesday’s four-hour strike.

FBU Wales Chair Cerith Griffiths explains how expecting firefighters to work until 60 puts members of the public at risk.

In the second, firefighters are shown marching to the Senedd, home of The Welsh Assembly, to protest against unfair, unworkable and unsafe pensions proposals.

Grant Mayos, who represents Wales on the FBU’s executive council, talks about how strike became necessary as a last resort and firefighters hopes that government starts to see sense.
