Well done FBUManchester FBU Merseyside members stand in solidarity with Rebecca Long-Bailey lan Byrne MP and the other 5 MP's who attempted to lift children and families out of poverty

We remember firefighter Hector Keeley who lost his life in the line of duty on this day in 1950. Hector fought many fires during his 20 years of service, including the fires of the Blitz. In 2021, we placed a Red Plaque in his memory, unveiled by his then 89 year old daughter.

If you're attacking firefighters or stopping them doing their jobs you're not "saving our children". If you injure a firefighter or damage a fire engine, you are directly responsible for endangering children. Injured firefighters with damaged fire engines can't save lives.

Manchester Unity demonstration against racism & fascism, this Saturday. *Join us for a peaceful and welcoming demonstration, to celebrate unity and community. Sat 10th Aug, 11am, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester Bring flags, placards, trade union banners etc.

This poster shows the true difference in what a firefighter can get in maternity pay and provision throughout the south west. The women perform the same role however are valued completely differently by their brigades.  1/3

NEW: figures obtained by the FBU reveal that 12,000 firefighter posts have been lost to cuts since 2010. All UK fire and rescue services have been hit by austerity. 12 services have lost more than a quarter of their workforce. We need urgent investment to keep the public safe.

Big thanks to Christian Wakeford MP for visiting Fire Brigades Union members at Broughton Fire Station earlier today It’s important to continue to build on our relationships with our Labour MP’s and look forward to meeting many more at our Parlimentary lobby on the 8th October In Unity ✊🏻

🚨 NEW | On 8 October, firefighters from across the UK will come to Westminster for a national rally and lobby 14 years of austerity have brought the fire service to its knees. For the new government, it's TIME TO DELIVER: 🔥 Investment 🔥 Standards 🔥 Workers' rights Be there

This list should leave no doubt as to why #ClimateCrisis is a trade union issue, and a workplace issue for Fire Brigades Union #Firefighters #Haz2024

📢It’s time for the Westminster government to deliver a fire and rescue service ready for the risks we face. Firefighters demand investment, standards and workers' rights. Promises must be turned into policies. ✊Join the FBU national rally and lobby on Tuesday 8 October.

Love, strength & solidarity to all who knew Bro Francois Childs ❤️
