Dan and Jarrad sat down with Steve Wright this week from the FBU for our second State of the Union episode.
Despite being asked to take dead bodies to morgues, help out the ambulance service and support care homes, firefighters are now being attacked by Fire Chief’s for demanding COVID-19 testing before returning to their station.
We also chat about the importance of being politically active as a Trade Unionist, coordinating our action as a Trade Union movement and the effects on the fire service of the climate crisis.
