The attached Employment Court Decision rules against the NZPFU but this may not be the end of the matter.
The NZPFU is discussing the Decision with its legal team and considering all options including appeal.
Members will be disappointed with the judgement but are advised not to make any decisions until we clearly understand our legal options.
We will keep you all informed.
In unity,
Wattie Watson
National Secretary
Nominations are hereby called from Union Members for Local Committee positions as below.
In 2007 the NZPFU and NZFS signed the attached Tauranga Kawerau Amalgamation document grandparenting conditions for those employed in the
district and setting out transfers and travel terms and conditions.
In recent years the Tauranga and Kawerau Locals have been meeting with FENZ management to resolve matters affected by the 2007 agreement
and the attached 2025 document has been drafted as a result.
At the close of the notified nominations period one nomination for the position of Timaru Local Secretary has been received.
I therefore declare Jeremy Gaskin as Timaru Local Secretary.
As a result there is the Timaru Local President position is now vacant.
Nominations are now called for the position of Timaru Local President.
