The Fire Brigades Union is appalled by government attacks on retained firefighters’ pension rights and is determined to resist them.FBU members won the right for retained firefighters to join the modified pension scheme following an extensive legal battle.
But the Westminster government are still dragging their heels on its implementation, whilst rushing through other attacks.Now the government is planning to move the goal posts and dramatically worsen the pensions retained firefighters have earned. It wants retained firefi ghters to pay more, work longer and still get less for our pensions.
