[QUOTE="sirius, post: 87621, member: 258"] Its a bit of a mixed bag this one innit?. Ian, a friend of mine joined the fire service last year or so and boy was it tough to get in!. They do a great job when its all going off somewhere and I agree they should be payed a tad more than they are, but on the other side of the coin, they knew the typical wage before they joined and an increase of nearly half is perhaps going a bit far all at once. The pension scheme is unbelievably good from what Ive been told too....... Its other jobs which are overpaid which makes it all a nonsence (especially footy) sometimes, for example, the 'contract' guy who fitted our kitchen was on over £20-25 per hour! and he was just putting it together like an MFI sideboard! He was even following the step by step instructions! and he'd only do half a days work at once too - mind you on that sort of rate he can do..... I understand you have to aim high to get a bargaining position, but where will it stop? If the gov'ment cave in it will throw the floodgates open for whole other sections because it will show that this sort of tactic can work and everyone will be doing it whenever they feel like it, and in some cases at the risk of poeples lives. Good luck on getting sommet reasonable though, respect is due for the work you do. (Geez, that rhymes :)) Cheerio, (Before long I will be asking Pacman for my blackbelt in Codshite, as you can see my training is coming on nicely!) Sirius. [/QUOTE]
