Dear Brother/Sister
PAY 2010/2011
You will be aware that the Fire Service Employers refused to make an offer on pay for 2010. The matter therefore remains unresolved. The Union has today submitted the attached letter registering a claim for 2011. The background to this is the decision of the Government to seek a pay freeze in the public sector although it is important to note that Fire Service pay is not determined by Central Government but by the NJC for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services.
Members are asked to ensure that the issue of pay is debated at Branch meetings alongside the other key industrial challenges we face on jobs and pensions. A model resolution has been circulated on these matters. Further information will be issued as available.
Best wishes.
Yours fraternally
MATT WRACK
GENERAL SECRETARY
