The July issue of Firefighter magazine featurs updates from the 2015 FBU annual conference. We also hear from UK firefighters responding to the devastation of the April’s earthquake in Nepal and how 10 years after the 7/7 London bombings 8,000 firefighter jobs have been lost.
Other contributions come from Davey Hopper, general secretary of the Durham Miners Association, Keith Ewing, president of the Institute of Employment Rights and Jonathan Evans from the neurological charity Ataxia UK
(Please note: Text of first paragraph on page 6 news story entitled ‘commutation win’ should read “A successful legal challenge by the FBU has established that firefighters who retired between 2001 and 2006 should be compensated because they did not receive the lump sum in their pension that they were entitled too.”)
