The FBU had no representation and no members in the London Fire Brigade control room for decades. With @PaulEmbery's help and guidance, we recruited staff to the FBU, building our branch and winning recognition. We now have a real voice. We stand with Paul.
Congratulations to Jane on her 40years in Fire Control and as a member of the @fbunational. In that time she has made a massive contribution to the union and supported many members, particularly with her devotion to education. A real hero in a headset

We are proud to partner with the Daily Mirror to call on the government to take urgent action so ensure #Grenfell can never happen again #GrenfellNeverAgain
I'm proud to be a part of this Union. We fully support those affected by this awful tragedy. That's our members who took those calls, our members who were at the scene, the bereaved families and the survivors. #GrenfellNeverAgain
