Union boss shows up Kay Burley in must-see clash

"Inflation is 11 per cent. So thats a 6 per cent pay cut. Why should workers anywhere be told to take a pay cut?" said union boss Matt Wreck.

Ballots asking if the Fire Brigades Union should strike will begin dropping through its members doors this week, and follows an indicative vote earlier this year which saw the majority of firefighters reject a 5 per cent pay rise.

FBU general secretary Matt Wrack said: “We have firefighters using foodbanks. Our members worked through the pandemic to help protect their communities, taking on extra duties to do so.

“A further real-terms pay cut is an absolutely disgusting way to thank them.

“There is still an opportunity to resolve this dispute and we will be writing to fire ministers and government departments across the UK requesting urgent meetings.”

If the more than 33,000 members of the union across the UK walk out, it would be the first national strike since pension action between 2013 and 2015, and the first on pay since between 2002 and 2003.

Yesterday morning general secretary Matt Wrack clashed with Kay Burley over striking for pay rises in a must-see clash.

Voting will start from December 5 and end on January 23.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
