Flexible contribution rates

Conference notes that rightly the contribution rate for Control Members is set at the same level as wholetime or job share operational firefighters.

Staff who are on reduced earnings but not on an exact 50% job share split are being charged full rate, not one relevant to their earnings, which can be a deterrent to them retaining their FBU Membership.

Conference instructs the Executive Council to review the application of Union contribution rates and introduce a sliding scale between 50% and full contribution rate to reflect the wages being earned by our Members.
