Fire Brigades Union

  Fire Brigades Union (FBU) is the main union for firefighters in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1918 in the London area as the Firemans Trade Union, but soon grew to cover the entire country.  During the Second World War, it began to unionise auxilliaries for the first time.  Today, it has around 50,000 members. 
Led by Andy Gilchrist, the union called a strike over pay and conditions in 2002. This was partially successful, but has led to rank-and-file anger at the union's line.
