A word about our founder
Simon has served in the Fire Service for nearly 25 years as a frontline and decorated officer.
Having held various offices in the very effective Fire Brigades Union (FBU), Simon demonstrates his commitment to fellow workers and his dedication to the advancement of rights in the workplace. Recognising that many contract changes and pay disputes have caused a decline in morale among the crew of several carriers, he, together with other crew committed workers welfare, rights and advocacy, Simon is launching CCU to provide better Union services for all in our sector.
Most trade unions cover many different Jobs in many other sectors of industry. By having a union dedicated simply to the needs of crew, we can understand, support and better meet the desires and aspirations of our membership. It is Simon’s aim to give members more immediate access to help in their workplace. He will encourage your Union officers and representatives to discuss basic work issues with managers in an informal way in order to achieve a Speedy solution. This will require a strong and dynamic Union which can provide education and support to its members, and the rapid assistance of trained representatives when required for members. Constructive dialogue and cooperation will be encouraged with all other Unions working in this industry.
Simon believes in constructive engagement with the employer, working together to improve conditions of service, pay and allowances and to enhance the benefits the employer offers.
By positive engagement the employer is more likely to respect the wishes of the Union and enter into dialogue with it. A good employer will respect and value its employees and, in turn, morale and productivity will increase and this will be mutually beneficial as the business grows. Sometimes, regrettably, a resolution to a dispute may need tougher action. Simon has experienced strike action and is not afraid to stand up and be counted for Union principles and worker’s rights.
It is time for a new approach with new ideas, time for members to have a real say in how they will be represented. Members need a strong Union dedicated only to their needs in their industry, avoiding party politics and focused only on achieving the best for its members. A Union that will engage constructively with employers and other Trades Union, but will stand up resolutely for member’s needs. A Union created, formed of, and run by the very people who work in the sector the Union represents. A Union that is open and honest and keeps members informed at all times. A Union that is fully democratically accountable.
We have members across various carriers and are bringing about real changes to improve conditions in Maternity Rights, Flexible working arrangements, Equality and Disability Recognition in Members roles, Litigation and Negotiation in Disciplinary events, Pension and Sickness absence resolution, Real time Representative action by trained members, Data Protection interventions and Reportable occurrences, Pay Rises in the regions of 15-18% for members.
