NZPFU and FENZ representatives met on Monday afternoon in a bid to iron out the remaining unresolved issues in the bargaining. That work has continued and another meeting scheduled for tomorrow Thursday. The parties are hopeful that all remaining issues can be resolved this week.
In unity,
Wattie Watson
National Secretary
Members should be aware that District Manager Mackereth has unilaterally made the decision to remove the Hazmat Command Appliance from immediate response to confirmed structure fire incidents for incidents in Auckland City Central Fire District.
Members may be aware that the Local has raised a dispute around the way FENZ’s wants to transition Papakura Station to a Senior Station Officer Station. This proposal would directly impact 10 personnel and indirectly impact over 120.
We refer members to the Notice to Members published on 28 January 2024 regarding Blood Screening Programme for NZPFU Members - Firefighters, Trainers and Fire Investigators.
