The Union has strongly represented its unhappiness about the inability of FENZ to actually pay the 1 July wage increase on the due date – Thus requiring back pay.
As far as the Union is concerned this has breached understandings reached at the time we moved to a market movement pay adjustment and is further evidence of significant system failures within FENZ.
What the Union has received is attached from Hamish More – Director of P & C by way of explanation and apology.
Nominations are hereby called from Union Members for Local Committee positions as below.
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.
