FIREFIGHTERS in Penarth will be on strike twice this weekend in a row over pensions.
Firefighters will strike for the fifth and sixth times this weekend between 6pm and 10pm on both Friday, December 13, and Saturday, December 14.
Matt Wrack, Fire Brigades Union General Secretary, said: “It’s now been almost two months since the government has been willing to meet us for negotiations despite several invitations from us.
“Until they do and until they start to actually resolve the dispute, we’ll keep up the pressure for the sake of public safety and our members’ pensions.”
