It was a pleasure to meet @GarethTovey4 and other members from @SouthWalesFBU as part of @fbunational's lobby of Parliament today.
The 5% pay offer they've had is a real-terms pay cut - they deserve a fair pay offer.

BEMM National committee member and rep for Wales Alex Szekely addresses a packed hall for the @fbunational pay rally as we launch our campaign to take action against the derisory & offensive pay cut offered to key-workers who kept us going through the pandemic and all other times
Black History Month is a time for reflection and positive changes for the future. During this time, people can celebrate the outstanding contributions that Black people have made to society across the globe, both today and historically. #BlackHistoryMonth#fbu#firefighters
On this dreadful day 21 years ago, the world changed forever! Our thoughts continue to be with the victims and brave fire fighters whos lives were taken too soon and the families who lost loved ones.
We will remember them!

Mandela lead the resistance to South Africas policy of apartheid, during which he was incarcerated 1964–82. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 for having led the transition to a multiracial democracy. Mandela was also the first black president of South Africa. #NelsonMandelaDay
On this most sombre of days, we remember every single life lost, we remember our commitment to their memory, and to the community, and we continue in our demand to ensure firefighters and residents are never faced with such a fire ever again.

Today is fire fighters memorial day. We will never forget all the fire fighters who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty. A 1 minute silence will take place at 12pm at all fire stations in memory of them.

Our players mounted the most powerful silent protest against racism we’ve ever seen and you refused to support them. The proven bully you made Home Secretary publicly criticised the team & then defended the racists who booed them.
Give your head a wobble.
🚒 You could be posted at any station, but FF Szekely of Aberbargoed is waiting for you to join him as a Wholetime Firefighter.
