National Union of Public Employees

The National Union of Public Employees is a public service union that represents both members in the government and NGO Sectors. NUPE is proud to be involved in efforts to improve the lives of workers and their families. Our priority is improving terms and conditions of members and advocating for safety. From our early days in 1992, we have been a leading organisation in the struggle for economic and social justice. By fighting for legislative improvements and bargaining for better terms and conditions in employment agreements, we continuously strive to raise work standards. NUPE offers members representation in employment matters, advocacy and collective bargaining.

Christmas Message

The year is coming to an end and we want to wish you all a wonderful and safe, Christmas and New Year season. We know many of you will be working through but we do hope you get some time off to relax with friends and family. NUPE remains busy. We have finished bargaining with some groups (Comcare TL’s SST etc), remain in bargaining with several others (OT, Corrections, MBIE, NZDF) and will be initiating for new bargaining for others early in 2025 (OT Managers, MPI, IR etc). We will be working hard to achieve good outcomes for members despite the challenging times we find ourselves in. The NUPE office will be closing at mid-day on Monday 23 December 2024. The office will be open again on Tuesday 14 January 2025. There will be an on-call organiser over this period available for emergency/ health and safety matters only. All other matters will be responded to when the office reopens. The on-call cell phone number will be on the NUPE answer phone 03 3773582 and the website. Leave a message about the problem with your contact details on the on-call cell phone and you will be phoned back during the break if the matter is urgent. Please Ring 03 377 3582 or access www.nupe.org.nz for on call details. The whole NUPE team want to thank you for 2024 – it has been a really challenging year. Take Care, rest, keep safe and a big thanks to those of you who are still working through this time. We wish you all an amazing Christmas and New Year. Have fun and keep safe. Janice, Quentin, Luke, Matt, Noah, Vic and Andrew.
