Union Finances

Annual Conference acknowledges the improvements in the Union’s financial position over the last 2 years in placing the Union finances in a stronger position to face the continuous campaigning and work as a trade union in representing our membership in all spheres of the workplace, and political, trade union, socialist and international movement. Our acknowledgement is not without concerns of the vital elements of budgeting and accountability of our finances to ensure a strong long-term financial basis required to continue as an important and independent organisation within the Fire and Rescue Service and trade union movement. Following the 2002 ‘Red Book’ of the FBU Financial structure it is 5 years since this was agreed we therefore instruct the Executive Council to review the Union finances and the current levels of all Union expenditure to report and make recommendations to the 2008 Annual Conference on the Union’s current and future financial strategy.
