resolution 20 - increased responsibilities carried
20. INCREASED RESPONSIBILITIES
The Fire Service nationally is under the largest scale attacks in a generation and
as a result the battles faced by FBU Members across the UK are numerous and
not without casualties.
We fully accept that a Public Sector Service should be efficient and meet the
needs of the public and communities it serves. However FBU Members are
being asked to take on more and more responsibilities, quite often for no
reward and we are in danger of allowing non-FBU Stakeholders to take the
lead on these matters.
We feel the time is right for national discussions to take place between the
employers and the FBU to find a way forward for areas of activity that currently
lie outside of the role map.
We can no longer resist the changing face of the UKF&RS but that does not
mean we shouldn’t be taking the lead. Failure to be part of the discussion, risks
both the future of the UKF&RS and in turn the FBU.
