Firefighters have voted overwhelmingly to accept a 12 per cent pay rise over two years, ending the prospect of strikes.
The Fire Brigades Union postponed a walkout in February after receiving an offer of a 7 per cent pay rise backdated to July 2022,The union’s executive decided to recommend that members vote to accept the offer in a ballot, which opened on 20 February and closed on Monday.FBU general secretary Matt Wrack said: “The overwhelming vote by FBU members to accept the improved offer means that the dispute is resolved on terms that are favourable to firefighters.
“We pay tribute to members of our union for their determination and unity throughout the past year. Firefighters will now receive two pay increases, including nine months of back pay. He added: “The FBU leadership has been determined not to sugar-coat the offer. For the current year, 7 per cent is still another real-terms pay cut.
“For the following year , when inflation is forecast to be lower, 5 per cent may amount to a slight increase in real-terms pay.”
