Jamaica Fire Brigade’s management served with 72-hour strike notice as drivers, mechanics restive over unresolved salary issues

The management of the Jamaica Fire Brigade has been served with a 72-hour strike notice.

The notice was served by the Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) due to poor working conditions and unresolved salary issues affecting mechanics and drivers.

The JCSA said for several months it has been actively engaging with the brigade and relevant stakeholders to resolve the issues.

President Techa Clarke-Griffiths said these engagements included the submission of revised job descriptions and a comprehensive claim, covering the period 2022 to 2025.

She noted that despite these efforts, the issues remain unresolved.

Mrs. Clarke-Griffiths said the affected workers have grown increasingly restive as they continue to work under conditions that do not reflect the value of their service to the organization and the nation.

She said the mechanics and drivers have indicated that they cannot guarantee the continuation of normal operations after the 72-hour notice has expired.

Mrs. Clarke-Griffiths added that if meaningful progress is not made, the Association will be forced to support the workers in taking industrial action to secure the justice they deserve.
