Notice to Auckland Local Members

Posted 3 Sep '14 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local has had a number of complaints and questions from members regarding Assistant Area Manager Woon’s email regarding District Relievers for ACFA.

The Local wishes to advise members that AAM Woon has not engaged the Local in any formal consultation on this matter. As such, the Local is in the dark as to what AAM Woon wants to achieve from this instruction.

Given that nobody but AAM Woon knows of the intent of the said instruction, the Local recommends the following:

Members do not apply for these positions.
If you have applied, retract your application.

The Union intends to pursue this matter.

If you have any further enquiries or concerns, please contact the Union Office.

Members will no doubt be aware of the major 5th Alarm fire that broke out last night on the North Shore.

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.
