Unvaccinated Border Worker FUND

  • GF at the Employment Court

      24 September 2021

    ** GF is challenging the Employment Relations Authority decision of GF v New Zealand Customs Service to the Employment Court **

    GF is now receiving legal aid for the Employment Court proceedings, which means I am not able to receive additional payment for those services: to be safe and to avoid confusion, I am closing this Givealittle. I will not compromise GF's legal aid position.

    Your donations have significantly helped. They paid for all fees and disbursements relating to the proceedings at the Employment Relations Authority and at the High Court. I have worked pro-bono, but at least I haven't been 'out of pocket', with the Givealittle paying for my flights, accommodation and other travel costs.

    There is the matter of costs at the ERA (as GF was not successful): however, if there is any decision, it will be 'stayed' until the conclusion of the Employment Court.

    If you want to contribute to the vaccination-related work I'm doing, generally, please contact me: ashleigh.the.advocate@legalAF.co.nz

  • Thank you for your support

      30 May 2021

    Thank you all so much for your support. We are incredibly humbled by the support we have received. The funds to date mean that we will not be financially disadvantaged in getting to the Employment Court: and we are closer to creating that "safety net" as described.

    I am sorry, I am unable to respond to everyone individually: however, I want you all to know that no matter how much you donated, we appreciate you and your support. For those who cannot donate, we appreciate the shares: we know this has been circulating social media, which has significantly helped us in reaching our goals.
