Cpd Payments

Conference is appalled by any fire and rescue authority who considers removing CPD payments from FBU members for contemplating or undertaking industrial action and views this as being outwith the national CPD procedures agreed within the National Joint Council for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services. Conference instructs the Executive Council to raise the matter as one of the utmost importance at the next NJC meeting with a view to reaching agreement within the Council, that the nationally agreed CPD procedures do not provide for the removal of CPD for the contemplation or undertaking of industrial action alone, and such actions by local employers are in breach of the procedures.
