The latest Wordback is interesting apparently the Government & SAMFS are mixing up the budget & EBA negotiations! Have a look and see what you think.

Na they are just trying to raise their profile before going into EB. Its their traditional tactic. Beat the government until they are down, make the community scared about public safety and then go into EB so that the govt backs down and gives them everything they want.

I wonder if it will work this time.

Interestingly they only took selected parts from the report - the picture is a bit different when you read the whole thing.

There is a vast amount of statistical information in the ROGS report and it should be digested over some time but the underlying trend for the state of South Australia is not one that the United Firefighters Union is comfortable with. The government has tried to streamline the delivery of Emergency Services by creating an over-arching body known as the South Australian Fire And Emergency Services Commission (SAFECOM). Unfortunately this department consists primarily of public servants and ‘bean counters’. In it’s first full year of operation the SAFECOM budget was approximately $8 million, in it’s second year this had gone up to $11 million – not a good sign.

SAFECOM is where more and more funding is goin....... :|

Chook, considering, who would ever be able to use an entire report to make a convincing argument that they need more money

Yep of course you are right, just reading the whole report doesn't paint such a dark picture. So by only publishing the negative bits only scares those who would read the extract. But as you said "make a convincing argument that they need more money" was the purpose & the extract may do that!
Pity its not quite true :wink:
cheers mate

So why wait 4-5 years to whine about it. Fair dinkum the UFU must go thru the archives if they dont have anything current to whinge about!
Treat everyone as if they are an idiot, until they prove you otherwise.

UFU have implemented Public Holiday policy again into full time stations. Apparently related to issues with changes to Command and Control procedures.

Yes the MFS retained firies are being brought into the fulltimers award and new EB being negotiated at present. There will be specific sections that relate purely to retained.
And yes in my opinion the UFU do have a reasonable idea what the retained crews do.

At present there would be no one who is retained that does it for the money. But from what I've heard the EB may even make it worth your while cash wise, as well as doing it for the love  :wink:

The UFU are in negotiations with MFS, SAFECOM & Govt at present and all going well it should be sorted out in the next few months. As to its content we will have to wait and see.

UFU imposed work bans have been lifted again, after a compromise on the changes to Command and Control SOP.
