Over the past months, the É«ÀÇÉçÇøhas held nominations for delegate positions on the NSW Rural Fire Service Departmental Committee.

The elected delegates meet quarterly and work with industrial staff to drive strategy and represent members.

The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwishes to thank all members who nominated and congratulates all those who were elected to these positions:

Unions such as the É«ÀÇÉçÇørely on active members and delegates to maintain adequate representation in workplaces and ensure information flows effectively between members in workplaces and É«ÀÇÉçÇøindustrial staff.

Delegates are the union’s eyes and ears in the workplace and it is critical that these roles provide that communication flow.
