Control members

The Control Staff National Committee, with the full backing and support of the Union, is mounting a major campaign to stop the regionalisation of the UK’s emergency fire control rooms. This campaign is about defending the jobs and health and safety of FBU members, and about protecting the public. To find out about our Campaign Against Regionalisation, visit the control care website.

Control Staff National Committee

What we do

The control staff national committee advises the Executive Council on matters affecting the conditions of employment of emergency fire control staff members of the Union and associated negotiations.

It is responsible for advising the executive council on organisation and recruitment of control staff into the Union.

It comprises of one control staff member from each region, a chair and a secretary. The member from each region is elected by the control staff members in the region. The national chair and secretary are elected by control staff members.

In conjunction with the executive council the control staff national committee organises an annual general meeting of representatives of control staff members.

The chair and secretary of the control staff national committee have the same status in the Union as a regional chair and regional secretary.
