Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Industrial Relations Industrial Relations The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Industrial Relations In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (3 March 2021). The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Industrial Relations The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised: Based on a comparison of revenue collected over the same period in previous years, the MFS estimates that the impact of industrial action taken by the United Firefighters Union of SA has resulted in a year-to-date decrease in revenue of around $0.7 million. As well as the decrease in revenue, the industrial action increases expenditure. I am advised that the ban on senior firefighters and station officers acting up at a higher rank cost the MFS $110,000 per week in overtime. I am pleased to advise that on 15 March 2021 the ban on acting up was lifted by the union.
