The Union has had a number of queries from members regarding the above Survey (sent out yesterday).
Members are advised that the Union was not consulted regarding this Survey, played no part in its development, and in fact had no knowledge of it.
Consequently the Union’s recommendation to members is not to complete the Survey.
As well, more than a few of the questions can only be seen as a crude attempt to try to get members to incriminate themselves.
In accordance with the NZPFU Rules, Wellington members are informed that Clark Townsley has been elected Wellington Local President.
After 47 years of dedicated service, Senior Station Officer Sulu Devoe has made the decision to retire. Sulu has been a strong advocate for NZPFU members’ rights and terms and conditions of employment. He would always put firefighter safety and wellbeing front and centre, never failing to raise concerns with Fire and Emergency Management, sometimes ruffling feathers in the process.
An election for the Kawerau Local President position shall be conducted by electronic voting commencing at 0900 (9am) Monday 30 June 2025 and closes 1700 (5pm) Friday 11 July 2025.
