The Union’s lawyers have finally received the Fire Service Case on Appeal to the Court of Appeal. The Fire Service has also applied to have the matter set down – i.e. seek a date for a hearing.
The Union will be following up with the Court of Appeal the need to have the case heard as soon as possible.
However, the Union’s advice is that it is likely to be at least 2 months before a hearing date will happen.
Members will be updated as further information becomes available.
The Tauranga Local AGM will be held on Thursday 28th August @ 10:30am
This instruction once again highlights the disarray and crisis that Fire and Emergencies fleet is in, with no relief heavy aerial (Turntable Ladder) available to replace the Auckland City Aerial truck.
The Auckland Local wishes to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Station Officer Matt Walker of the Auckland Operational Support who passed away after a short illness.
