CFA disappointed pay dispute trial delayed

The CFA is disappointed a resolution to its pay deal dispute will be further delayed after a Victorian Supreme Court trial was set back almost a fortnight.

The expected 10-day trial between Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria and the CFA was meant to start on September 22 but has been rescheduled to October 3.

"While we are disappointed the resolution of legal questions related to the proposed operational agreement has been delayed, we respect the court's decision to reschedule the hearing," CFA chief executive Frances Diver said in a statement on Friday.
