The key issues for ACT Fire and Rescue firefighters in their next enterprise bargaining agreement are:
- Keep the pay rise, invest in safety
- Recruit to address the firefighter shortage and address excessive overtime
- Implement a modern training regime
- Implement a firefighter wellbeing initiative
- Ensure fire stations meet modern safety standards
- Only use firefighters’ images in the media with consent
More details on each of these issues are set out in the attached flyer for you to download:
Why are ACTFR regularly attending incidents in NSW without NSW fire services being notified until much later? Letting NSW do their job will significantly reduce overtime and overstretching of resources.
