The NZPFU conference being held in Auckland this week recognised longstanding Union Committee Member and stalwart Brent (Dorks) Single today.
Dorks has celebrated 50 years as a firefighter and Union Official for more than 40 years. Coincidently Ma’a Nonu was on hand to recognise his outstanding service to the community and the Union. Brent (right) is with Tauranga Local President Neil Patrick and Ma’a.
In 2007 the NZPFU and NZFS signed the attached Tauranga Kawerau Amalgamation document grandparenting conditions for those employed in the
district and setting out transfers and travel terms and conditions.
In recent years the Tauranga and Kawerau Locals have been meeting with FENZ management to resolve matters affected by the 2007 agreement
and the attached 2025 document has been drafted as a result.
At the close of the notified nominations period one nomination for the position of Timaru Local Secretary has been received.
I therefore declare Jeremy Gaskin as Timaru Local Secretary.
As a result there is the Timaru Local President position is now vacant.
Nominations are now called for the position of Timaru Local President.
Mike will be known by many of our members as a firefighter for many years, before transferring to Waitemata District as a Volunteer Support Officer.
