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.
Fire and Emergency has recently asked for nominations for the 2021 Te Hiku Celebrating Success Awards.
The Union finds it incredibly frustrating that Fire and Emergency throws money at bucket hats, baseball caps and soft shell jackets whilst New Zealand’s largest most populous city faces a crisis with its heavy aerial fleet.
Members will be aware of the latest update from Fire and Emergency Management about the state of the aerial fleet in Auckland.
