UFU Victoria

A call to reconsider engagement of anti-worker commercial law firms and expenditure of fire service levy funds to litigate against Victoria’s professional career firefighters.

The following information is very important for members’ consideration. Please read the information in relation to the establishment of a UFU Working Party.

The UFU Appeal of the MFB CFA rank alignment and relativities case has been set down to be heard by a Full Bench on 19 October 2018.

UFU members are advised that today the Union sent all Victorian politicians a letter in relation to the escalating risk of bushfire and extreme heat events in Victoria.

Your Branch Committee of Management thanks UFU members and their families & friends for sending letters to their local MPs.

The MFB / CFA Secondment Program offers professional firefighters of LFF, SO and SSO ranks the ability to experience their role from another organisational perspective, while also building upon existing improvements in interoperability.

The UFU is pleased to inform members that the review of all WorkCover claims lodged since April 2010, instigated by the UFU, consistent with the introduction of changes to the calculation of pre injury average weekly earnings (PIAWE) is now complete.

The UFU thanks all members who were involved in the response efforts at the West Footscray factory fire last week.  UFU members who attended or came anywhere near the fire in any capacity should lodge an MFB Safe ASAP and if they haven’t already done so.
