Video: Union vows to fight on for pension justice

February 20, 2017

In a video update Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, has vowed that the union will continue its fight for pension justice after an employment tribunal concluded the transitional arrangements for the 2015 Firefighters' Pension Scheme did not discriminate on the grounds of age, sex or race.

The FBU will now consider the reasons for the decision with their legal team in the near future, and will then make a decision whether or not to appeal.

Members are advised to check the national FBU website and Facebook and Twitter pages for updates.
