Fire-fighters decide to strike
My OH works for the fire service and it looks like they will be striking even though it was a hard decision to make for many of the union members.
They don't want to endanger people's lives but they haven't even had a pay review for over 20 years!
Fire-fighters are classed as manual workers and therefore get a manual worker's salary.
Teachers, police officers and train drivers are classed as professional workers and get a hell of a lot more than fire-fighters.
If the government would just give them a decent pay rise instead of the insulting 4% that they have offered, then the fire-fighters would not be going on strike!
