Rejected petition: PAY RAISE FOR OUR TIRED AND BRAVE FIREFIGHTERS
Rejected on
I would like the uk government to reconsider the salary of our fire service since the start of the six weeks holidays our firefighters have been battling wildfires up and down the country and putting their own lives at risk to save us british people.
I witness one fire crew looking drained after fighting a wildfire and they've been battling these fires since the start of the six weeks holidays. To show these true hero's that us people are behind them for protecting us. These firefighters have family's and they risk there lives to protected us from these dangerous wildfires.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The award of pay rises for people in local/regional fire services is not a matter directly for the Government but for the National Joint Committee for Local Government Services, a joint body comprising 70 members: 12 representing employers and 58 representing trade unions.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
