FIREFIGHTERS across the UK are set to vote on whether or not they will strike over pay.
The Fire Brigades Union said 32,500 of its members across the UK will vote in the next few weeks on whether to launch a campaign of industrial action.The union said the move follows a 2% pay offer made in June, which has not been increased despite the soaring rate of inflation.The ballot is expected to be held in five weeks' time.
The announcement was made just hours before the new prime minister takes office, and follows a wave of industrial action this summer by tens of thousands of workers.
