Union elections 2000

April 28, 2000

Earlier this month all members were given notice by direct mail to your home addresses of the opening of nominations for the Union’s triennial elections. As has been the case in previous years, this year’s elections for the United Firefighters Union of Australia, NSW Branch Committee of Management are being conducted by the Australian Electoral Commission. Again, these elections will also serve as the elections for NSW Fire Brigade Employees Union (FBEU) State Committee of Management under Section 239 of the NSW Industrial Relations Act 1996. The nominations opened on 31 March, closed on 19 April and were locked in (meaning members who had nominated could no longer withdraw their nomination) at midday yesterday, Thursday 27 April.

The Australian Electoral Commission’s Returning Officer yesterday formally declared 10 of the 14 candidates for positions on the Union’s State Committee of Management elected unopposed, as follows:
