Resolution 43 - retired and out of trade members carried

43. RETIRED AND OUT OF TRADE MEMBERS
This Conference notes that time off for trade union duties is getting harder in
Brigades as staffing figures fall and austerity kicks in. Conference applauds
Officials and Members who toiled tirelessley for the Union in previous years
and who have subsequently retired.
It is apparent by the numbers of Retired and Out Of Trade Members that there
is still that massive strength of feeling for the Fire Brigades Union. Therefore
this Conference calls upon the Executive Council to carry out a feasibility study
into having a retired and out of trade network. This study should take no longer
than 12 months and reported back to Brigade Committees for them to
consider what to do next.

Suggested this idea over 4 years ago for the FBU to have retired members who are Ex officials to take on these duties subject of course to people wanting to do it, it fell on Deaf ears !
