Firefighters in London have been in the news recently as a result of industrial action against savage attacks on their working conditions. These scans come from the magazine of the FBU,Firefighter, during the 1988 dispute in Dublin. It is a show of solidarity from the UK union to the Dublin firefighters. I have also scanned up an image from the strike, showing a ‘Londonderry FBU’ placard on the streets of Dublin. At a time of political tension in the six counties, firefighters there ignored sectarian divisions and supported their Dublin colleagues. With events in London, this is a timely reminder of what international support can mean to a strike. It has never been scanned online before.
