This was our organisers report from 20 Dec 2016 which perfectly illustrates Memory’s commitment to her co-workers:

"I would just like to mention that during the power outage in Gisborne our delegate and newly elected exec member Memory I feel went above and beyond her duties. When the power went out Memory was still asleep as she had worked the night shift. She was awoken by members in the store ringing her telling her that the RGM has told them all to go home, but  they were scared that if they left they will not be paid. Memory rocked up in her Unite hoodie with Thermos of hot tea and coffee in hands. RGM asked what she was doing there and Memory stated that she brought the staff a hot drink and to make sure the workplace was safe for them to be in. Memory stated she was making sure there was adequate lighting, ventilation and clean water for them to wash there hands. Memory also made sure that she took a note of who was on shift at that time and took a photo of the roster to make sure that everyone will be getting paid, as no one was certain when the power was going to be turned back on. Later that day Memory also notified members of where the water tankers were in Gisborne and that the City council was cooking sausages for people who couldn't cook anything or afford gas for the BBQs. She also went to Pizza Hut and Carls Jr to make sure they all were aware of their rights during the outage. The next day Memory shot down to the City Council to make sure that the water was still safe to drink and again with hot thermos of tea and coffee she went into KFC to recheck everything was running smoothly, by that time the generators were up and running but the store was not yet opened as the chicken had not been delivered. As it was the end of the pay week she mentioned to the RGM "does payroll know what hours and which staff need to be paid for yesterday". The RGM quickly raced into the office to sort it out. Delegates leading the way and being empowered to stand up and help others!
