Read our privacy policy Firefighters on Thursday called off a planned strike after they were offered a revised pay hike following lengthy talks with employers. The Fire Brigades Union said it had been offered a seven per cent pay rise backdated to July 2022 and then five per cent from July this year. The union said it will have an “honest and sober” discussion of the offer, adding that it still amounts to a real-terms pay cut given the rate of inflation. The FBU had warned of industrial action if last November’s five per cent pay offer was not increased.
