What is Fire Brigades Union?
The '''Fire Brigades Union''' ('''FBU''') is the main [[Trade union|union]] for [[firefighter]]s in the [[United Kingdom]]. A union is a group of workers. They make the group to improve pay and working conditions. It was founded in [[1918]] in the [[London]] area as the ''Firemans Trade Union''. It soon grew to cover the entire country. <!-- I don't know what this means: During the [[Second World War]], it began to unionise auxilliaries for the first time.--> Today, it has around 50,000 members. == Other websites == *[http://www.fbu.org.uk FBU homepage] {{UK-stub}} [[Category:Organisations based in London]] [[Category:Firefighting]] [[Category:Trade unions in the United Kingdom]]
