I don't think anyone is arguing that they're wrong to have a problem with the pensions proposals, however, if you commit to a career where there's an expectation that you're available to protect people and save lives... then strike action is completely inappropriate. They need to find a way to make their point that doesn't involve potentially endangering the lives of innocent people.
Like I said - IF anyone dies as a result of this strike (firefighters not being available to attend a fire when they otherwise would have been) - then the strike organisers should be held accountable and charged with murder.
