Matt Wrack fails to win re-election as Fire Brigades Union general secretary

The leader of the union representing firefighters has failed to be re-elected after losing to his rival in a ballot of members. Matt Wrack was seeking another term of office after two decades in the post of general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU).
But he was beaten by the union’s vice president Steve Wright who will now become the new leader. Mr Wrack is a prominent left winger, being involved in a number of disputes over pay, jobs and conditions and regularly speaking at rallies and meetings pressing the case for improved workers’ rights under the Labour Government.
