Important Announcement:

Members,  Employers, HR Advisors etc will still be able to contact us by email, or leaving a message on our answerphone 3798319  (or 0800 22 999 8 ) or by texting or calling our cell phones. If you know the Organizer you want to contact, use the details on our 'Contact Us' page (see above). If you have an admin, account or fee enquiry, please email Karen. If you are unsure who you need to contact you can email union@slgou.org.nz and someone will get back to you.
The answerphone will be cleared several times per day if you wish to leave us a message. Alternatively you could text your number and name to our cell phones or give us a call and leave a message. Your calls will be returned as soon as possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause
.
The Dunedin office will be unaffected by the repairs.
