Was a pay claim of 40% ever realistic? Why do you think that the FBU made such a large claim?
What will be an ideal response?
? Probably unrealistic because of the impact that it would have had on pay in
general in the public sector. Every other group would have wanted an increase
? However, fire fighters had, historically, had their pay aligned with the ‘technical’
grade nationally – and they had slipped behind this
? They made a large claim to emphasise how important they were
? Maybe they made a large claim so that they got something big – if they had asked
for 10% that was still a lot, but the ‘rule of thumb’ is to expect half of what you
ask for
