Times Firemen back strike call
CLITHEROE’S 16 firemen — 15 retained and one full time — have “regretfully” de cided to back any further action taken by the Fire Brigades’ Union in support of a national pay claim. The d e c is io n was
reached after a meeting on Monday nig h t at Clitheroe station when three firemen from Divi sional Headquarters at Burnley put forward the FBU’s case of holding one-day strikes soon unless the Government allows an “agreed” pay award. The union is incensed
men after the dispute three years ago has been cut to only six per cent — and the Clitheroe firemen feel the anger is justified.
