In Loving Memory of Pam Boyd

Posted 4 Mar '16 under National

The Boyd family would like to thank all at the Union for their support and kind messages for Pam after her untimely passing.

There were so many kind words of support from all around the country, particularly many Local Secretaries. There was also a fabulous presence from the Union at her funeral. Many of you took the time to talk to us and say how much Pam meant to you and the Union. It was so great how important she was and how she played a major part in where the Union is placed today.

Anne Higgins from the Auckland office attended, Pete Nicolle was a pallbearer and Derek Best spoke at Pam’s funeral. Everyone offered wonderful support for the family over this trying time and we thank you all.

Grant & Sam Boyd.

This instruction was issued without genuine consultation with the Auckland Local and highlights the disarray and crisis that Fire and Emergencies fleet is in. Despite the organisation saying that their fleet is well maintained and regularly serviced, once again reality proves the complete opposite, with this decision impacting the safety and well-being of firefighters and the public.
