Firefighters in Perth and Kinross and across Scotland are set to head out on strike for the first time in two decades over a pay dispute.
The industrial action was announced after the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) rejected a five per cent pay rise offer in November labelling the deal a response to “more than a decade of real terms pay cuts”.
FBU memberships’ UK-wide ballot saw 88 per cent back walkouts on a staff turnout of 73 per cent.
