UK firefighter dispute 2002–2003
The 2002-2003 UK firefighter dispute began when the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), voted to take strike action in an attempt to secure a better salary. The FBU demanded a 39 percent increase in pay, which would have brought the average firefighter's wage to around £30,000. It balloted its members for a strike in late 2002 and the industrial action began in November. It was the first nationwide firefighters' strike in the UK since the 1970s.〔(BBC News Website: Fire strike 'would threaten Iraq action', 5 Sep 02, (accessed 11 Oct 07) )〕 The strike was led by FBU General Secretary Andy Gilchrist.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2347869.stm〕
==Background==
Local authorities recommended a pay increase of 4%, whilst an independent review advised 11%. The FBU rejected both of these requesting 40%. The government argued that this could result in substantially higher wages across the public sector and tax increases.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2341283.stm〕 The Independent Review of the Fire Service (known as the "Bain Review") proposed increasing salaries, on condition that the fire service was reformed, including firefighters being trained as paramedics.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2447225.stm〕
