Message to NSW O’Farrell Govt from FBEU

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Darin Sullivan in Extra

Here's how the FBEU responded to NSW Labor when they tried to restrict firefighters wages in 2007.

The NSW Lib's think Unions will just go away? We haven't even begun yet.

Barry O'Farrell, and the NSW Govt, need to reel back these new laws, and create a NSW wages policy that is fair, balanced, and does not remove the constitutional rights of public sector workers.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Unions have got plenty of time. Don't take your new job for granted Barry – it'll be gone before you know it.
