Equal Pay - Role Reduction

Conference calls upon the Executive Council to investigate the imbalance and downgrading of Emergency Fire Control managerial posts resulting from the substantive move from rank to role. It is apparent that the role given to control managers in these areas do not reflect the correct level of responsibilities and professionalism shown by the realities of the job done. As Emergency Fire Controls are staffed by a majority of women, we call on the Executive Council to conduct an Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value study, using an appropriate expert and model into the cross roles from different parts of the Fire Service, with a view of putting Emergency Fire Control managers onto higher rates of pay and into the correct roles. A report of this investigation to be produced as soon as possible or by Annual Conference 2011.
