Dear Brother/Sister,


Employers’ pay offer 2025: ballot information


The fire service employers’ have written to us with an offer on pay for 2025. The employers’ offer letter and commentary can be found in today’s earlier all member circular (2025HOC0140SW).


Hybrid Ballot
The consultation on the 2025 pay offer commences 28 April 2025 and concludes 19 May 2025, there are two options available to members in order to cast a vote.
• Online
• Postal


Email link to vote online
Emails with a link to vote online will be sent from Popularis the independent scrutineer, to the email address that the union holds for you on the FBU membership system. This will commence week commencing 28 April 2025.


If you have not received an email from Popularis there may be two reasons:
• You have not previously provided the FBU with a home email address
• The email sent to you has gone to your email Junk Folder so please check your Junk
email folder for an email from Popularis


Paper Ballot to home address
The ballot paper enclosed with this circular has also been sent to your home address.
1) to manually record a vote and return the ballot paper in the pre-paid envelope provided
2) use the link provided on the ballot paper to login online and vote using the secure pin number provided on the ballot paper


Members should allow several days in order to receive a postal ballot paper. If members have not received a ballot paper (or email) by 9th May 2025 they should email [email protected] their:
1) Name
2) Membership number (if know)
3) Home email address
4) Full postal address


This ballot is a ballot of Grey Book members only.


MEMBERS MUST NOT VOTE TWICE – If members return a vote by both post and internet
their vote will be spoilt. 


The Executive Council recommends that members vote – ACCEPT


Yours in unity,


Steve Wright
General Secretary
