Aerial Appliance Placement Options

Posted 8 Feb '06 under Auckland Local

Management has recently distributed to City, Parnell and Otahuhu Stations a number of options regarding future aerial appliance placement.

Members need to be aware that at no stage of this process has any consultation with the Union been undertaken.

We are advising all members currently waiting for training courses on all aerial appliances, to withdraw immediately. The Local also recommends that all members DO NOT discuss, meet or participate in any form of consultation with Management regarding the current options that have been presented, until advised further by the Union.
