Season’s Greetings and Goodbye to the Year that Was...

Posted 17 Dec '21 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local wishes all members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. A reminder that the Auckland Office will be closed from the afternoon of 23 December 2021, re-opening on 10 January 2022.

Members are asked that over the holiday period whilst our Local Representatives take some well- earned breaks with their family members, that any contact is kept for urgent assistance only. Local Executive Members can be contacted during the holidays via email, where they will respond to requests when available.

Once again, the Local wishes all members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

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.
