Notice to Auckland Local Members

Posted 14 Oct '15 under Auckland Local

A number of members are aware of the debacle created by AM Cocker and then supported by Regional Management in regard to the highly flawed selection process for short-listing candidates for promotion to recently advertised Senior Station Officer positions in Areas 4 and 5.

The Union has now placed this matter into dispute.

Until such time as this Dispute is resolved, the Local advises that no member is to participate in any activity with regard to Senior Station Officer Practicals, including, but not limited to, practical evaluations that have been scheduled to take place in Auckland.

Return to Work Duties

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.
