After putting out Auckland Local Notice ALC-05-12 dated 24 January, the Auckland Local has received correspondence from Regional Manager McGill.
A number of issues were raised and the Local is seeking National Union’s advice and legal advice. We are also in the process of seeking an urgent meeting with Regional Manager McGill to discuss these issues.
Accordingly, all Roster Departments are advised to recommence their functions as Roster Departments until further notice.
With the change in Auckland to COVID-19 Alert Level 3, Officers are reminded of the ability to use their command radios to talk directly with St John Ambulance staff when responded to Purple Events.
Members will remember our Notice last week advising of our grave concerns around FENZ’s planning around the America’s Cup sporting regatta.
The Local has written to the Regional Manager outlining our grave concerns that Fire Emergency is relinquishing its main functions under the Fire and Emergency Act in favour of secondary responsibilities and has not adequately prepared or planned for the 2021 Prada Cup and the 36th Americas Cup Sporting Event.
