Harry pulled into the fire station car park and rubbed his eyes He wasn't used to being up so early - most days he worked the evening shift-but today he had agreed to help out Mike, a morning-shift worker, who wanted to attend his son's graduation. Mike would work Harry's shift in the evening. Despite his tiredness, Harry was pleased to get to work early. Today the firefighters were voting to decide whether to take strike action or not and Harry was eager to hear the views of his colleagues. On the one hand, he agreed with the strike their wages were low for doing dangerous work. On the other hand, he knew that every effort was made, in terms of training and equipment, to make the job as safe as possible. And the short working hours meant most workers could comfortably work another job. Harry himself worked part-time as a car mechanic "Morning. Harry," said Mervyn, the dispatcher. 'Big day today' Harry saw that nearly everyone was chatting about the vote as they got changed into their work clothes. All the shifts met in what they called the dining room. Here the supervisor told them their duties for the day "Harry, you and Nigel go to North Street School to give the usual fire safety talk. Make sure, though, that you're back here by one to vote," explained Bob, the supervisor, Harry nodded and picked up the leaflets, Nigel walked up behind him "Hi, Harry. Is that everything we need?" "Yes, I think so,' Harry replied. "What do you think, Nigel?" How are you going to vote today? "Definitely No' I don't see how I can do anything else when the hours here allow me to have two other jobs. What about you?" he asked "Well, I don't like the idea of putting the public in danger while we strike. Great minds think alike Harry!
