Firefighters are being urged to reject a 5% pay rise being offered, with union leaders insisting the increase would represent a “massive real-terms pay cut”.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU), which has begun to ballot members in the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, insisted firefighters had been “treated appallingly” and had “had enough”.
Firefighters have until 14 November to have their say on the pay deal, but the union is recommending they vote to reject the offer.
