Firefighters across the UK announced they would be taking a 24hour strike starting from 09:00 today
This is following a government decision to put in place an ‘unfair, unworkable and unaffordable’ pension scheme, the government propose firefighters should work until 60 (previously 55) this sparks debate as to whether firefighters will be able to work a high intensity job like this until such a high age. Strikes have been put on hold in Wales and Scotland following discussion.
