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.
I declare FRASER JACKSON, SHAUN CROWLEY, ANDREW MCPHEE and DAVID MILHAM duly elected to the position of Wellington Local Committee Members.
Due to the recent resignation of the Taupo Local Secretary, nominations are hereby called for this position in accordance with the Rules of the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union.
