The Local has written to Region 1 Manager Brian Butt informing him of the following regarding our position surrounding a 5th man being assigned to a particular shift period.
“The Union’s stance on this matter is that no member shall ride a first response pumping appliance as a 5th man unless the employer has made provision for an extra B.A. Set as provided for the other 4 crew members.”
If any member requires further clarification, please contact the Secretary.
Due to the resignation of Auckland Local Committee Member Chris O'Dea, and the declaration of Josh Nicolls to the position of Auckland Local President, nominations are hereby called for the two vacant Auckland Local Committee positions.
By the closing date for nominations for the position of New Plymouth Local President, the following nomination has been received.
The Auckland Local President election closed at 1700 hours Friday with 89% of those eligible to vote taking part.
