Full time Regional Trainers

Posted 28 May '19 under National

In order to better represent NZPFU members who are full time regional trainers we need to collate a database.

Can all NZPFU members who are full time regional trainers please contact:

wellington@nzpfu.org.nz
Subject line: Regional trainer contact details. Attention Lyn
We need name, region and contact email address.

From this database we are hoping to group members and call for expressions of interest in each region for a “point of contact” to enable better representation and flow of information amongst groups. We are also hoping to provide information on the pathways for progressing different issues (ie. CEA matters, training matters, etc.) at different levels (training standards committee, union council etc.) through these “points of contact”.

We would also encourage all trainers to register on the secure NZPFU Members Zone and make use of the trainers forum. If the numbers increase we will look to appoint additional moderators to facilitate better communication.

Members will no doubt be aware of the major 5th Alarm fire that broke out last night on the North Shore. This fire had widespread impacts to people across Tamaki Makaurau with several Emergency Alerts having to be made. Additionally, our thoughts go out the local community, including the owner, tenants, and staff of the businesses impacted.

Return to Work Duties

23 Feb

We have been told that staff wanting to do Return to Work Duties will have to do them at District HQ and they do not intend to reimburse your travel costs, “you are getting an enhanced pay and you can fund your own travel”. We have since got an agreement that the travel distance reimbursement will be paid for travel to District HQ.
