Solidarity from Bangladesh's garment workers' movement to @NZPFU firefighters on day 65 of action, and thanks to @RMTunion for showing what internationalism means. Fair pay for those who risk their lives for us is not too much to ask. An injury to one is an injury to all!

What gets me most is that this coalition govt has done stuff all to help firefighters get new equipment and appliances into fire stations.

Dunedin Firefighters send a crystal-clear message - echoing the exact concerns raised by the Minister. Yet the questions remain: Where is the Chief Executive? Why hasn’t this failed executive leadership team been cleaned out? #NZPol

FENZ triggers public warnings to pack grab bags and prep escape plans - while remaining silent on plans to axe specialist wildfire roles, shutting fire stations, letting 111 centres run empty and leaving major cities short-staffed. #NZpol

They tell you to prepare for an emergency, but ignore the ones they are creating.

A CBD high-rise apartment fire minutes before a strike—and Auckland’s heavy ladder truck had to be dispatched straight from the mechanic’s. 🚨 This is why we walk off the job. Our communities and firefighters need gear that actually works.

They found the money for their 79% pay rises. But FENZ's priorities end where the hard work begins. #NZPol

🚒 AUCKLAND HAS ZERO FRONTLINE RESCUE BASKETS. Both heavy platform aerials are broken down. Auckland’s only backup is a 31-year-old ladder truck that was out of service for two years. Need high-rise rescue? We'll have to wait for Hamilton. Is this what your levy pays for?

FENZ opens applications for new dispatchers in the same week official data reveals 82% of ComCen staff face burnout risk. Instead of fixing toxic conditions and severe stress, FENZ "leadership" treats 111 call takers like replaceable parts. #NZPol
