Policy text
Conference notes that fire and rescue services are able to introduce two tier fitness tests to determine operational fitness levels for the role/rank of Watch Manger/Station Officer and above, potentially adding weight to the flawed argument that the pension age for firefighters should be 60.
Conference instructs the Executive Council to open discussions with our national employers to cease such practices and reintroduce fitness tests that are relevant for all Members regardless of their rank/role.
