Dennis Maga, FIRST Union General Secretary, said staff and union members are devastated by the passing of Fa’anānā Efeso Collins and wish to offer their respect and admiration for a dedicated, kind and effective community leader.

"Hearts are broken across the union movement today at the loss of a dedicated champion of working people who had an exciting future ahead of him."

"Efeso cared deeply about serving his communities and he inspired our union members and delegates with his humanity and bravery."
