Firefighters ditch PPE in week three protest after “improper use” warning

It's week three of demonstrating for Gibraltar Fire & Rescue Service staff as they push ahead with their pay claim. 

However, this time they looked a little different to other weeks.

The firefighters wore Unite t-shirts rather than their Personal Protective Equipment as has been the case in other demonstrations. 

Earlier this week, Number Six said it objected to "blatantly improper use" of taxpayer-funded equipment for the purpose of giving extra visibility to a demonstration.

The union said it was called to a meeting where this was made clear to them.

Members of staff were subsequently issued with written warnings.
