FBU members from the Region stood in solidarity at the Birmingham bin strikes today, joining EC member Chris Wycherley, HIOW Brigade Sec Jamie Kelly, the FBU General Secretary, President, and members from across the union. Solidarity with the workers. ✊

Birmingham bin workers cannot be expected to accept an £8000 pay cut. An attack on bin workers, is an attack on all workers.

Birmingham bin workers face pay cuts up to £8,000. FBU general secretary @UnionSteveW demands the Labour government force the council to halt cuts and compensate strikers for lost earnings.

🪧 HIOW FIRE AUTHORITY LOBBY Details 👇

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings in London. We remember the lives lost, all those involved and affected.

This weekend we have seen LFRS have to take unprecedented measures due to a lack of funding. Fire chiefs cannot spend money they do not have. It's time to fund the fire & rescue service adequately for both the safety of the public & our members. @ChrisWebbMP @beaverlorraine

Attended the 3rd meeting of the MAG (Ministerial Advisory Group for fire reform and strategy) today alongside the Assistant General Secretary. The group is chaired by Fire Minister @AlexJJNorris responsible for @mhclg who recently spoke at our Conference. At Conference,…

It takes firefighters 3.5 minutes longer to attend an incident than it did in the mid 1990s. Labour has an opportunity now to reverse the effects of austerity and properly fund the fire and rescue service so we can protect the public and keep firefighters safe.

FBU officials and members recently welcomed the visit of Deputy Prime Minister and constituency MP @AngelaRayner to Ashton Fire Station Without major increases in government funding, firefighter numbers in Manchester are severely at risk. #investintheFRS #FundTheFrontLine
