	General statement on negotiations between the employers and the fire brigades union
		At the same time the negotiations arising from the 2002 FBU pay claim presented the opportunity for fire authorities to modernise by creating the flexibility for them to deploy their resources in a way that matched local requirements, along with flexibility in conditions of service in order to achieve this aim.
		In short, if the FBU signs up to the form of words on stand down time that it was previously prepared to recommend to the membership of the union then the employers will immediately release the cash.
		Fire authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are united in their support for the employers’ stance on stand down time and payment of the remaining 3.5% of the Stage 2 pay rise.

		The FBU had also complained local authority employers had not given written confirmation of an undertaking that a fresh mandate for strikes would not be needed while talks were under way.

		The union's decision is a blow to a Labour leadership that has seen its party membership plummet and, therefore, increasingly depends on union support for resources.
		This is the division of economics and politics which results in the unions being represented by politicians rather than fighting for political issues on the economic and social terrain.
		Union independence is the way forward, not a new "workers' party" dedicated to using all the tactics which worked so badly the last time.

		It is even suggested union leaders would consider a reduction in firefighter numbers but only in two or three years time after the changes have been completed and only if there is no threat to safety or fire cover.

		The hours of work and appalling conditions for firefighters in the London Fire Brigade was reflected across the fire service generally in Britain and the need to secure a national standard of employment conditions across the United Kingdom was a driving force for the fireman's trades union.
		Northern Ireland is now as well represented by the FBU as the brigades of England, Scotland and Wales, although their unification took part in the main, as a result of the FBU recruitment drive following the second world war.
		Often, control rooms are located away from the fire stations, being based at brigade headquarters etc and the staff are segregated from firefighters by their dissimilar roles.

		The risks and almost casual heroism integral to the fire fighters' job have not only created an intense camaraderie among the workforce but also made their union one which inspires tremendous loyalty and respect.
		Forged in Fire tells the story of the FBU not in the form of a traditional blow-by-blow account but through a series of inter-linked essays which highlight the most fascinating aspects of the union's history.
		Uniquely for a trade union history, Forged In Fire also contains a number of autobiographical pieces by former leaders of the union, including John Horner who was its general secretary during the war years, and also rank-and-file members with their reminiscences of the 1977-78 strike.
