FENZ management have exposed their true colours in their latest salvo against striking NZPFU members, including striking firefighters and 111 emergency call centre dispatchers.
The NZPFU has issued a notice of new industrial action commencing on 23 March 2026.
The new industrial action does not affect emergency response and is primarily bans on administrative and other functions and tasks that is
unlikely to be noticed by the general public.
The NZPFU membership has overwhelmingly voted for more strike action.
The NZPFU membership is as strong as ever in its resolve to fight for a fair and reasonable collective agreement that embeds safe systems of
work—crucial for emergency response and the protection of the community.
Today we stand with all those affected by the deadly Christchurch earthquake 15 years ago today.
The earthquake decimated parts of Christchurch, leaving 185 dead in its wake. It may be the 15th anniversary, but for many, the impact is as
devastating today as it was then.
The NZPFU National Committee has determined to cancel today's strike that was scheduled for one hour from 12 noon.
We are sadly informing NZPFU members that Honorary Life Member Vern Greenham has passed away.
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.
