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.
The NZPFU will hold national strikes for one hour from 12 noon this Friday the 13th and on Monday 16th February 2026.
The NZPFU has now escalated the strike action to two one-hour strikes per week in a bid to put pressure on FENZ to change their position. As
is usual practice the National Committee meets every week to discuss the pending Friday and Monday strikes and the National Committee has
determined this Friday and Monday the 16th will proceed.
The NZPFU and FENZ were in facilitated bargaining this week. At the close of that bargaining FENZ agreed to provide specific information we have requested which we say is necessary for us to have a full understanding of what FENZ claims is fiscal restrictions by Treasury, Government and the Public Service and what is FENZ’s determined limitations.
