Notice of Special Meeting of the Auckland Local

Posted 29 Nov '18 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local Committee hereby calls a Special Meeting of all Auckland members to be held at Avondale Fire Station, Thursday 6 December at 10.30am.

The reason for the meeting will be to update and brief members of what has happened since the new Committee members came on-board in September and where we are at with Sulu and John and their expulsion from the Union.

Committee members will also be available to answer questions where possible, and it is hoped that the full offer from the National Committee to Sulu and John will be available to explain to the members and its implications.

The meeting will also be to discuss the upcoming Conference in Christchurch, what our hopes and expectations may be resulting from it and any potential repercussions following.

All off duty personnel are encouraged to attend. SSO’s, can you please arrange for as many on-duty crew to attend as practical.

For those members who are unable to attend this Special Meeting, if you have any specific questions, please forward them to the following email (martycampster@gmail.com) and they will be addressed at the meeting.

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.
