In line with the Conference Resolution to establish the rate of the calculation of Union Fees to “0.75% of the weekly wage of a Senior Firefighter (Grade 1) with 10 years’ experience.”
Union Fees will increase to $18.65 plus GST – a total of $21.48 from the actual date of the payment of the new wage rates – expected to be 13 September 2017.
The Increase will not be back dated to 1 July 2017.
Members are reminded that this is the first increase in Fees for 19 years.
Members are advised that once again Auckland is faced with a reduced heavy aerial response and capabilities due to mechanical breakages of the current fleet, as per an operational instruction sent to some Officers in Area 4.
The Local issued a Notice to Members ALC-20-41 on 11 November regarding applying for a dispensation to have dual Career and Volunteer Firefighter Membership of the Union.
The Auckland Local wishes all Members a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. A reminder that the Auckland Office will be closed from Wednesday 23 December until Tuesday 5 January 2021.
