NSW Firefighters: Strike for decent pay


The State Committee has today resolved to call a statewide strike of permanent members across NSW commencing in response to the Government’s refusal to move beyond its current 2.5% per annum wage offer.

All on duty permanent members are instructed to cease duty and leave their stations and workplaces at 1700 hrs today (Friday).

The strike will cease at 1800 hours today, when C platoon commences duty.

All retained members attached to mixed staff stations other than those exempted are instructed to join permanent members in this strike.

(the Iemma government pathetic 'pay offer' included a cut back of one week from their leave! Maybe we should demand a cut back of Iemma's and Costa's leave by 52 weeks - unpaid leave that is)
