Following high-level discussions between the Union and Fire Service management on the dispute surrounding the Senior Station Officer application process, the Local is satisfied that the issue is progressing to the point where Notice to Members 15-24 can be withdrawn.
The Local passes on our good wishes for success to those undertaking their practical assessment.
Please read to the end.

Members may be aware that the Local has raised a dispute around the way FENZ’s wants to transition Papakura Station to a Senior Station Officer Station. This proposal would directly impact 10 personnel and indirectly impact over 120.
