Members of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) were addressed by former Labour leader and Peace & Justice Project founder Jeremy Corbyn at a packed Methodist Central Hall in Westminster on Tuesday, before marching on Parliament.

The action follows a derisory below-inflation pay offer of 5%, which has driven many firefighters to relying food banks or leaving the profession entirely.

Addressing the demonstration, FBU's general secretary Matt Wrack said: “You’ve turned out in your hundreds and hundreds and hundreds — I think that demonstrates the anger that is out there. They will tell you that there’s no money for pay but corporations enjoy record profits."

The Peace & Justice Project is proud to support our firefighters and the FBU's #FairPayOrFireStrike campaign.
