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.
Fire and Emergency has recently asked for nominations for the 2021 Te Hiku Celebrating Success Awards.
The Union finds it incredibly frustrating that Fire and Emergency throws money at bucket hats, baseball caps and soft shell jackets whilst New Zealand’s largest most populous city faces a crisis with its heavy aerial fleet.
Members will be aware of the latest update from Fire and Emergency Management about the state of the aerial fleet in Auckland.
