Our fire and rescue service is under attack as never before. No part of our service, no part of our union is exempt. The cuts are taking different forms in different places but we are all facing the same onslaught.
The background to this is the aim of the Conservative government to force through their austerity agenda. We need to help build a mass campaign of industrial and political opposition to stop the Tories in their tracks.
Part of the campaign to undermine our union is the intention to attack union funds and membership by banning the current ‘check-off’ arrangements. Sign up to direct debit – further details will be issued soon.
