Firefighters set new strike dates
FIREFIGHTERS have set two more strike dates.
Fire Brigade Union members nationally will take industrial action from 6pm to 10pm on Friday December 13 and Saturday December 14.
This is the fifth and sixth strike since the end of September.
The union is taking action over plans to increase the retirement age of firefighters from 55 to 60 because of concerns about fitness.
