The Fire Brigades Union has won unanimous backing from the TUC for its demand that all those responsible for the Grenfell Tower fire are brought to justice, as the tenth anniversary approaches.
Despite next year marking a decade since the fire, in which 72 people lost their lives, no prosecutions have taken place.
Thousands of people still live in buildings covered in flammable cladding and private companies continue to push for further deregulation even when it’s obvious those practices led to the atrocity in 2017.
Steve Wright, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, said:
"It is a national scandal that no one has been prosecuted for the Grenfell atrocity and that justice continues to be denied to the families of all those who died.
"Firefighters who went into Grenfell risking their lives with some suffering ill health as a direct result of their experiences, are furious that no one has been held to account.
"Our union will not let up in our pursuit of all those responsible including any politicians who are culpable."
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry recommendations include the establishment of a College of Fire that the FBU wants to see established, publicly owned and properly resourced, with a central role in developing UK-wide standards for the fire and rescue service.
Mr Wright added: "We are progressing this work with government, but the College does not yet exist and there is still work to do to make it a reality."
