PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
FIRE BRIGADES UNION INDUSTRIAL ACTION (1 November 2010)

That this House expresses admiration for the courage and bravery of firefighters across the country who place their lives at risk to safeguard people and buildings, but expresses disappointment and concern that the London region Fire Brigades Union has announced the intention to carry out a 47 hour strike starting at 10 am on 5 November 2010; regrets that, when Londoners are trying to enjoy celebrations of both Guy Fawkes Night and Diwali, the Fire Brigades Union will be working actively to maximise the risk to them; and urges the Fire Brigades Union to take part in the negotiations on 5 November 2010through the recognised national negotiating body, offered by the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority management side, instead of striking.
