They deserve the pay rise. As do most public sector workers... police, ambulance men, nurses, etc... they should have organised a mass strike across the board.
And I support them... they do deserve more money.
"you can't tell me the pay package wasn't explained to them when they applied for the job"
I think, like teaching or medicine, firefighting is a vocation... you join up out of public spirit, not because of the pay-package. That only comes later.. and they do deserve more money.
