New two-year labour deal boosts first-class London firefighter pay to $123K

20“Sleep till we’re hungry and eat till we’re tired”. A London firefighter quoted this mantra to me. I know several of them and live near a fire station. They might leave the “hall” once or twice in a 24 hr shift and it’s usually not for long. Their dispatcher literally wakes them up after their 8 hrs of sleep to tell them it’s time to go home. Most of their day is spent lounging at the station playing games, watching TV, grocery shopping. A captain is always nearby to tell them what to do in case a decision has to be made. One of those captains was recently promoted having never responded to an actual fire. They have a great PR system that makes to make us believe they are doing heroic things every day. The fact that they claim to be under similar stress as a nurse or police officer is ridiculous. We could pay them half this salary and people would still line up to apply. Where does this end??

LondonFreePress 3Not surprised. She and at least one of their several deputy chiefs have never even been firefighters.
