When: Wed 15th June 2011
Time: 12.00 midday
As firefighters in NSW prepare for rolling strike action with other public sector workers over their workplace rights being taken away by the new NSW Coalition, let's take a minute to see what Barry O'Farrell is up against.
Here's the vibe from FBEU members, 1000 of whom marched only recently to show their collective strength:
Former President of the Fire Brigade Employees’ Union (2009-2018) and a professional firefighter with more than 30 years experience. I live and work on the NSW South Coast, Australia. I am a strong advocate for firefighters and emergency service workers with an interest in mental health issues and caring for those around me. I am a former Director on the NSW Fire Brigades Death and Disability Super Fund and work with charities including ‘The Movember Foundation’. As a leader and activist I have long been active in the campaign for action on climate change. I am a Station Commander in the fire and rescue service in NSW and have 30 years experience fighting fires, both rural and urban. I am passionate about highlighting the impact climate change is having on fire preparedness and fire behaviour in Australia, and the risks associated with inaction on climate change. I am also a spokesperson for the Australian Climate Media Centre.
