Taupo Local Notice to Members

Posted 20 Jun '22 under Taupo Local

RE: District notice 1/2022 requirement to supply driver licence details to FENZ

CEO Kerry Gregory via District Manager Maunder have requested all drivers of FENZ vehicles to supply their driver licence details to FENZ so that it can be “entered into the system”

Coloured Watch Members are reminded that this work falls under the bans laid out in the notice of strike covering the current industrial action, and therefore members are advised not to comply with this request. The Local is also somewhat alarmed at the possibility that FENZ do not seem to have this information already on file.

Until such time as the National Secretary advises otherwise, members should continue to only do the work specified in the strike notice.
