![NZPFU MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS SCHEDULE [UPDATED]](/media/website_posts/5486/membership-schedule.jpg)
The NZPFU will be holding membership meetings in July to update on bargaining and conduct any ballots the National Committee thinks
necessary.
The NZPFU and FENZ are currently discussing proposals in bargaining. We meet again for bargaining on the 3rd and 4th
July where we expect to continue those discussions. By the conclusion of those two days there may be an offer to discuss at the membership
meetings. We will also conduct any ballots at membership meetings that the National Committee thinks necessary.
After 47 years of dedicated service, Senior Station Officer Sulu Devoe has made the decision to retire. Sulu has been a strong advocate for NZPFU members’ rights and terms and conditions of employment. He would always put firefighter safety and wellbeing front and centre, never failing to raise concerns with Fire and Emergency Management, sometimes ruffling feathers in the process.
It is time to have a national round of membership meetings for bargaining purposes.
The NZPFU and FENZ are currently discussing proposals in bargaining. The parties meet again on the 4th and 5th July
2024 where we expect to continue those discussions and by conclusion of those two days there may be an offer to discuss with the membership.
The period for nominations of the NZPFU Local Triennial elections closed at 5pm yesterday (Thursday 29 May).
Please see the notices available for download below for every NZPFU Local detailing the nominations, those
elected unopposed and where elections will need to be conducted.
A new report was quietly added to the FENZ website today without the usual press releases and mass email notifications that previous reviews into complaint processes has enjoyed. It is a damning report of a Public Service Commission inquiry into the handling of complaints made by a volunteer firefighter against volunteer leaders and management.
The 2025 PCA payment will be paid on the 25th June 2025 pay day.
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.
