FBU tell Gloucestershire: 'pay our Firefighters the proper rate'

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) has written to the political leader of Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service demanding a local payment to firefighters be increased to what the Union calls 'the recommended level'. The FBU says that the payment, called 'Continual Professional Development (CPD)' should be set at a minimum level of £500 but Gloucestershire has only been paying £366, leaving local firefighters substantially our of pocket compared to collegues elsewhere.
