Members will be aware of a recent request from Trevor Brown (National Operational Efficiency Manager) to gather information from officers and firefighters who attended the International Convention Centre.

Whilst the Union was not consulted on the content of this form prior to its release, the questions contained are neutral and we have no issue in terms of content.

Firefighters and Officers are encouraged to participate in the review and request to be interviewed.

Staff are not limited to the format of this form and are able to email all their issues directly to Mr Brown (Trevor.Brown@fireandemergency.nz).

We ask that members copy in the Union (auckland@nzpfu.org.nz) to any emails sent to Mr Brown.

If you have any queries or concerns, do not hesitate to contact one of your cluster delegates.
