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.
Due to the resignation of Auckland Local Committee Member Chris O'Dea, and the declaration of Josh Nicolls to the position of Auckland Local President, nominations are hereby called for the two vacant Auckland Local Committee positions.
By the closing date for nominations for the position of New Plymouth Local President, the following nomination has been received.
The Auckland Local President election closed at 1700 hours Friday with 89% of those eligible to vote taking part.
