Sorry I made a mistake. It is 12.3% in april this year, but is going up to 14% by 2015. But that is on top of a 3 year pay freeze dispite a pay agreement to link firefighter pay to associate technical and professional, only a few years previously. Which means a pay cut in real terms already of 11%.
The 68 year old retirement is in future plans. But as I said, for those who aren't fit enough to be operational until they are 60, they can be sacked, and won't be able to claim their pension until they are 68, because that will be the retirement age by then.
