MANY readers will be very concerned about government plans to introduce privatisation to our fire and rescue services.
These are vital services which help to ensure the safety of each and every one of us. I firmly believe that public safety is far more important than private profit. The 38 Degrees campaign has launched a petition to support our fire and rescue services and oppose any attempts to transfer these valuable services to the private sector: Matt Wrack, general secretary of the firefighters trade union the FBU has said: “I would strongly urge people to support this petition. Please circulate the details to your friends, family and colleagues in whatever ways you can find to do so. Everyone can play a role in the fight to defend our service.”
I would strongly urge readers to sign this petition and support the campaign against fire service privatisation at 38degrees.
