The
TUC is backing the Fire Brigades Union’s bid to increase firefighters pay.
The
TUC has urged employers to re-enter pay negotiations after being briefed by the
FBU.
The
firefighters union claims it wants to avoid industrial action, but is prepared
to strike if necessary.
John
Monks, TUC general secretary, is to work closely with the union in a bid to
sort out the pay problems.Â
