UK Firefighter dispute 2002/2003
In late 2002, the UK firefighters union, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), voted to take strike action in an attempt to secure a better salary. The FBU was demanding an increase in pay of 39 percent, which would have brought the average firefighter's wage (at the time) to around ÂŁ30,000, the strike was a direct result of changes to working practises in the fire serivce in the United Kingdom as a result of a wide-ranging Independent Review of the Fire Service, led by Professor Sir George Bain.
