APEX And the NZ Medical Laboratory Workers’ Union
Announce Their Amalgamation
APEX and the New
Zealand Medical Laboratory Workers’ Union (NZMLWU) have
confirmed their amalgamation into a single entity. The move
was approved by the Executive Committees of both unions and
confirmed during their July 3 AGMs, following the completion
of due diligence processes.
APEX National President, Mr Peter Gene and NZMLWU National President, Mr Stewart Smith, say “This is an exciting time for both APEX and NZMLWU. Whilst we have always had a close relationship, the amalgamation cements APEX’s position as the specialist allied, scientific and technical union in NZ, bringing our membership to over 4000 strong.”

year, the NZMLWU membership voted overwhelmingly in favour
of the amalgamation and have now formally joined colleagues
from the following health professions in one union:
