During the winter months of 2002-03 there was played out the most
significant and bitter industrial dispute in the UK since the
miners' strike of 1984-85. There then followed a further eighteen
months of protracted negotiations, overshadowed by the Government's
preparations for invasion of Iraq, constant threats to ban strikes,
and the passing of draconian anti-union laws. This book tells the
story of the firefighters' dispute and shines a beacon on the way
the New Labour Government was prepared to go extraordinary lengths
- though it was not always successful - to thwart the ambitions of
a relatively small and dedicated group of public servants, who were
seeking pay justice after years of decline in their relative pay,
despite significant increases in productivity and skill levels.
