Firefighters secure 'major victory' against government pension reforms
'Today, we have been vindicated' - FBU general secretary Matt Wrack
FIREFIGHTERS secured a “major victory” today against the government’s plans to change their pensions.
The supreme court has refused permission for the government to appeal the ruling.
The court of appeal ruling upheld a claim in December by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) that thousands of firefighters’ pensions were being downgraded.
