NZPFU ORGANISES ONGOING BARGAINING

The NZPFU has made the practical preparations for bargaining to continue as planned on the 3rd and 4th September.

FENZ walked away from the bargaining during the August session unilaterally declaring that bargaining had ended.  FENZ then sought mediation.  The NZPFU has refused mediation as it is our strong view that bargaining has not concluded.  In fact, Workplace Relations Manager Michael Stephenson admitted in recent correspondence that there had been some productive discussions during the last day we met in bargaining.

Please post this notice on union notice boards and make all members are aware that nominations are called, and the elections are overseen by the Returning Officer as set out below.

Members are advised that pursuant to Union Rule B.15.11, notice is given for the Auckland Local Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday 4 September 2025.

The NZPFU Uniform and PPE group have been continuing their work to update the structural firefighting boots and helmets that are available for ordering by Career Firefighters.

An election for the Gisborne Local Vice President position shall be conducted by electronic voting commencing at 0900 (9am) Monday 25 August 2025 and closes 1700 (5pm) Friday 5 September 2025.

The Tauranga Local AGM will be held on Thursday 28th August @ 10:30am
