Special Meeting of Members

Posted 23 Mar '07 under Auckland Local

The Auckland Local advises members that we will be holding a Special Meeting for members on Friday 23 March as follows:

Date: Friday 23 March
Place: Guineas 2 Room, Ellerslie Racecourse Convention Centre
Time: 1115 hours

Members will be disappointed, as are Union Officials, in the ‘crap’ offer by the employer, as advised in National Newsletter to Members dated 9 March 2007.

This meeting is NOT a ratification meeting. It is being held to conduct a ballot, to seek the mandate of the members to consider forms of industrial action.
The National Secretary, Derek Best, will be in attendance.

Please advise off duty members and those on leave of details of the meeting.

Near Disaster on the North Shore

25 Apr

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.
