As 2024 draws to a close and the festive season ramps up, we wish you all a safe and happy festive season.
This is a great time to thank all those that work hard for the interests of our members.
The New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union (NZPFU) are aware that some members are being contacted by Fair Way or a law firm to participate in interviews or provide information. We want to remind you that you cannot be compelled to participate in any interview or process.
I apologise that my first notice as the National President of the NZPFU has taken so long to come out. Since taking on our new roles as the President and Vice President, Marty and I have had to 'hit the ground running'.
It was an honour to attend and listen to the yarns and accolades for Paul Shepherd at his retirement function at NTC today.
Retired Dunedin firefighter Kevin Reid died late last week.
The Timaru Local were fantastic hosts for the NZPFU Annual conference held this week. Not only did they put on great weather but didn’t miss a beat with the welcome packs, venue, catering, events and organised events including the mystery day trip for the delegate’s partners.
Our members serve their communities to protect and preserve life, property and the environment. NZPFU representatives are based on all career fire stations. There are also 19 Union Locals in the major metropolitan and principal centres where career firefighters are employed.
