Tens of thousands of firefighters and control room staff will be balloted for strikes over pay.
Firefighters and control room staff will be balloted for strike action in the latest outbreak of industrial unrest sweeping the country. The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said 32,500 of its members across the UK will vote in the next few weeks on whether to launch a campaign of industrial action.
The union said the moves follows a two percent pay offer in June which has not increased despite the soaring rate of inflation. The FBU said the pay offer represents a "significant real-terms pay cut".
