NZPFU TRIENNIAL LOCAL ELECTIONS 2025

In accordance with the Rules of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters’ Union, nominations are called for the positions of:

Local Secretary
Local President
Local Vice-President
Local Committee members (up to 15 Committee member positions)

We’re again in a position where we have to navigate a challenging and extended period of collective bargaining with Fire and Emergency. In times like these, our unity and collective strength as union members is critical. It’s a good moment to reflect, and reinforce why solidarity matters, and why it’s so essential we stick together.

Near Disaster on the North Shore

Members will no doubt be aware of the major 5th Alarm fire that broke out last night on the North Shore. This fire had widespread impacts to people across Tamaki Makaurau with several Emergency Alerts having to be made. Additionally, our thoughts go out the local community, including the owner, tenants, and staff of the businesses impacted.
