OSM Employee Survey & Region Restructure

Posted 12 Jul '12 under National

OSM Employee Survey

The Union has been involved in the discussions around, and the development of this Survey.

It is important that members respond accurately to this Survey so as to ensure, if necessary, changes can be made to OSM based on objective data.

Consequently, the Union recommends to members to complete this Survey.

Region Restructure

In a number of localities now, the foolishness of some of the decisions being made regarding restructuring and consequent outcomes is becoming apparent.

It is not the responsibility of members to pick up the work of people whose positions have disappeared.

Consequently the Union advises members not to undertake work previously done by persons whose jobs/positions have disappeared or have been substantially changed as a result of the Region Restructure.

Near Disaster on the North Shore

25 Apr

Members will no doubt be aware of the major 5th Alarm fire that broke out last night on the North Shore. This fire had widespread impacts to people across Tamaki Makaurau with several Emergency Alerts having to be made. Additionally, our thoughts go out the local community, including the owner, tenants, and staff of the businesses impacted.

Return to Work Duties

23 Feb

We have been told that staff wanting to do Return to Work Duties will have to do them at District HQ and they do not intend to reimburse your travel costs, “you are getting an enhanced pay and you can fund your own travel”. We have since got an agreement that the travel distance reimbursement will be paid for travel to District HQ.
