If you are not already a UNISON member, and you work for the fire and rescue service, now is a good time to think about membership. In times of great change it is only by joining together that we can ensure our voice is heard and understood by employers and government alike. JOIN UNISON - the union for all fire and rescue service staff |
Fire and rescue serviceUNISON is the biggest union in the UK for fire and rescue service staff (non-firefighters). We have members in every brigade in England, Scotland and Wales. Fire and rescue service staff perform a huge variety of roles, from cooks and cleaners to control room staff and emergency planners; from driving instructors and community safety staff to accountants and trainers. The fire and rescue service is undergoing radical change as a result of government modernisation plans. These plans will see the regionalisation of much of the fire and rescue service; the promotion of a statutory duty to ensure community fire safety and the roll-out of an integrated personnel development system. In Scotland, the plans may lead to a common fire services agency. < Back | More > |
