Victorian firefighters who attended a rally against the state government will be docked at least four hours pay, with Fire Rescue Victoria saying the industrial action was unprotected.
Firefighters who attended a rally in Melbourne on Wednesday while on duty will have their pay docked.
On Wednesday, the UFU held a rally through Melbourne's CBD, venting anger over what it said was low pay, poor conditions and dangerous obsolete equipment. FRV said the industrial action was unprotected and as a result it was legally required to dock pay for those who had attended while on shift. The agency said those workers would be docked at least four hours' pay.
"It is clear, beyond doubt, that Freeman and his executive are no more than puppets to the Government. They, too, will not succeed," the bulletin said.
