Membership Secretaries Duties

This Conference notes with concern the decline in FBU membership and believe that this is mainly due to the reduction in uniformed posts by the majority of UK Fire & Rescue Services. Conference therefore calls for the Executive Council to carry out a review of the responsibilities and duties carried out by Brigade Membership Secretaries throughout the union. Following this review, guidance issued to Membership Secretaries, including where necessary the appropriate rule changes brought, to ensure maximising FBU membership within UK Fire & Rescue Services, by promoting the organising and recruitment of FBU members. Should the review identify an increase in workload for the position of Brigade Membership Secretary, then the annual financial recompense should also be reviewed to more align it with that of the other FBU Brigade Officials.
