The NZPFU Conference in 2022 agreed to a Rule change that provided that the Auckland Local could have a committee of 20 including the three Offices of Local President, Secretary and Vice President. The recent elections of the Auckland Local President and Vice President impacted on the number of nominees for the Auckland Local Committee resulting in the Local Committee now being declared.

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.
