Working Party Aerial Placement

Posted 7 Mar '06 under Auckland Local

A Working Party within the Auckland Local has been set up to deal with the current issues of aerial placement.

It consists of:

Matt Camplin (City Blue Watch)
Shane McGrail (Parnell Red Watch)
Phil Thorogood (Mt Roskill Green Watch)
Ian Richards (Ellerslie Green Watch)

The Local invites its members involved in the aerial placement issues to communicate openly with this Committee. We will be approaching staff for their input and submissions over the coming week.

If you have any queries, please contact the Secretary at Ellerslie Green Watch (579 4400) or on (027) 641 1704.

Once all submissions have been collated, a draft counter-proposal from the Union will be submitted to Management.

Return to Work Duties

23 Feb

We have been told that staff wanting to do Return to Work Duties will have to do them at District HQ and they do not intend to reimburse your travel costs, “you are getting an enhanced pay and you can fund your own travel”. We have since got an agreement that the travel distance reimbursement will be paid for travel to District HQ.
