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
Members are advised that due to the latest COVID-19 announcement from the Government, the Auckland Local has postponed our Annual General Meeting until Wednesday 3 November.
It has been brought to the Auckland Local’s attention that it has been discovered that the TFT 25mm Gforce hosereel nozzles are designed to a European specification, which is for low pressure nozzles, and have a maximum working pressure of 16 bar (1600 kPa) instead of the hose reel pressure version specified at 40 bar (4000 kPa).
I hereby declare: Bradley Kenneth Johnston, Elected Invercargill Local Vice President.
