NZPFU COVID-19 Teleconference 9.30am Monday

Posted 14 Feb '21 under Breaking News

The NZPFU National Committee of Management met by telephone conference under urgency on Sunday evening to discuss any issues resulting from Auckland being under Level 3 and the rest of the country from Level 2 at midnight tonight.

We will hold a combined NCOM, Locals, Covid-19 SMEs, Com Centre reps and SSO group telephone conference at 9.30am on Monday 15 February 2021. Those attending the conference call will get a text message.

The Auckland Local executive has been meeting with Auckland Area Managers to ensure the transition into Level 3 bubbles and protocols runs smoothly. The Auckland Local and Auckland Management have a system in place to effect the changes necessary in a very short timeframe.

We are expecting FENZ to release a communique to staff this evening confirming the operational instructions under Level 3 and Level 2.

In unity,
Wattie Watson
National Secretary
