Following a meeting with Paul Turner where the Union was presented with outstanding leave totals and sick leave figures from Comcentres, Paul undertook to instruct Comcentre Managers not to obstruct or deny members' leave.
Both the Union and the employer believe that this will allow members more certainty of being able to take time off in a more legitimate way.
Please contact the Auckland Union Office if you experience any difficulties with the above.
The Tauranga Local AGM will be held on Thursday 28th August @ 10:30am
This instruction once again highlights the disarray and crisis that Fire and Emergencies fleet is in, with no relief heavy aerial (Turntable Ladder) available to replace the Auckland City Aerial truck.
The Auckland Local wishes to pass on our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Station Officer Matt Walker of the Auckland Operational Support who passed away after a short illness.
