Auckland firefighters will go on strike tomorrow and hold their protest at the opening of a new $4.9 million station.
The firefighters would be striking at the opening ceremony of the Mt Roskill station at 11.30am, Auckland Firefighters Union president Jeff McCulloch said.
The firefighters were protesting against their stalled contract negotiations and because they believed senior Fire Service management had made bad and extravagant decisions, including funding the new station.
Senior managers had also "wasted" $500,000 on consultants advising on the refurbishment of the Central Auckland Fire Station, despite firefighters who worked there telling them repeatedly it was not necessary, Mr McCulloch said.
"The list of extravagances and terrible decisions goes on and on, and the waste of public money continues with no-one being held accountable."
