Notice to Auckland Local Members

Posted 30 Nov '18 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local Committee understands from Regional Manager Kerry Gregory that FENZ will be withdrawing from next year’s Pride Parade to be held in Auckland.

We, as a Committee, agree with this stance taken by FENZ and also feel it is important to support our fellow emergency service partners, however, we recognise that it becomes a personal decision for members if they wish to participate in “civilian attire”.

If you have any queries, please contact a Committee Members for guidance.

Near Disaster on the North Shore

25 Apr

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.
