The Employer has agreed to fund research which will explore the wellbeing of members, particularly in relation to medical calls.
The research team is looking for around 50 Firefighters to participate.
The Union has been consulted regarding this project and the Union supports members being involved.
Hopefully the outcome of the research will improve the development of necessary support services that can be made available to members.
Information will be sent out to selected sites shortly.
In accordance with the NZPFU Rules, Wellington members are informed that Clark Townsley has been elected Wellington Local President.
After 47 years of dedicated service, Senior Station Officer Sulu Devoe has made the decision to retire. Sulu has been a strong advocate for NZPFU members’ rights and terms and conditions of employment. He would always put firefighter safety and wellbeing front and centre, never failing to raise concerns with Fire and Emergency Management, sometimes ruffling feathers in the process.
An election for the Kawerau Local President position shall be conducted by electronic voting commencing at 0900 (9am) Monday 30 June 2025 and closes 1700 (5pm) Friday 11 July 2025.
