‘We’ve had a whole generation of attacks on workers’ rights – particularly trade union rights.’
This week, Grace talks to Matt Wrack, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, about why the government is trying to take away the firefighters’ right to strike, how FBU members are organising to resist these pressures—as well as fighting for fair wages and better conditions—and the impact of austerity on the fire service and its members.
