This week, FENZ abandoned the bargaining by unilaterally declaring that bargaining had run its course. Their behaviour has demonstrated that FENZ was just biding its time, only providing an offer in June which did not reflect their own claims. Why? So that they could claim they have made savings by refusing any form of backdating on any matters including wage increases.
Bargaining recommenced yesterday and today with four more bargaining days previously agreed in September and October.
But this afternoon FENZ collapsed the talks and walked away.

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.
