Campaigning for an inquiry December 29, 2008.
MFB firefighters alert Melbourne commuters to the problems
with Melbourne's Fire Service caused by Management waste
and poor decision making.
MFB firefighters and their Union are asking all Melbournians to send a message to local members of parliament asking for a high level inquiry into the MFB management's failure to do its job properly. Major issues include:
- the debacle of the Burnley training complex that can't be used despite $70 million being spent so far,
- failure to replace antiquated, outdated equipment that's a danger to the community and firefighters alike,
- senior officers, whose success is in their ability to build and lead teams, being forced on to individual employment contracts against their wishes, and
- a five year wait for much needed new uniforms and protective clothing for firefighters.
