    The firefighter's union says strike action has been a long time coming

    The firefighter's union says strike action has been a long time coming


    All members of the Professional Firefighters Union will walk off the job for an hour on August 19, and again the following week.

    They want improved working conditions, better maintenance of equipment and higher wages.

    National Secretary Wattie Watson says Fire and Emergency shouldn't be surprised about the action.

    She says they've known for awhile about the vote to strike and how many members were interested in doing it.
