Conditions Of Service

This Annual Conference is appalled at the employers' continual use, of the need to recruit more women in the Fire Service as an excuse to make changes to our conditions of service, in particular the shift patterns. This is immediately discredited by the fact the Emergency Fire Control Staff, predominantly women, have enjoyed this shift pattern for the past 25 years, and which assists with family life We call upon the Executive Council to immediately make clear to the employers that, to use any individual or group as an excuse for any proposed detrimental changes to our conditions of service is not only cowardly but transparently divisive
