flag Fire and Emergency New Zealand seeks mediation over a 16-month pay dispute amid strikes and safety concerns.

flag Fire and Emergency New Zealand has asked the Employment Relations Authority for independent facilitation to resolve a 16-month-old pay dispute with the NZ Professional Firefighters Union, citing ongoing strikes and public safety risks. flag The agency’s latest offer, a 6.2% average pay rise over three years, was deemed unsustainable by the union, which proposed a significantly higher increase. flag FENZ emphasized its pay increases over the past decade, financial reliance on insurance levies, and ongoing internal restructuring efforts, while urging the union to withdraw planned strikes. flag A decision from the authority is pending.
