... years of the Employment Contracts Act. Blacklisting was basically advising all...
Tee hee! No, I'm an actor.
No links to Taxpayers "union". STONZ is a genuine union, affiliated to the Council of Trade Unions.
Agreed!! Excellent analysis and opinion.
Oh happy days. Aussie right wing politicians in disarray. NZ right wing politicians having a good old back stab with each other. Huge fun!
Excellent comment
Merry Christmas James. Hope you and your family have a good festive break. See you in 2018, for more fun political debate.
As a member of Equity NZ, I am delighted to see this repugnant situation about to be sorted. Jackson has little credibility on this. As for his movies, I hear a lot about his projects and plans lately (Dambusters??) but have seen little evidence of much ...
If I was a rich backer who has been attending "Cabinet Club" to buy myself some access to ministers, I would be feeling pretty pissed off about now that a) my money is heading to Eminem instead, and b) I have only managed to purchase myself access to some ...
Agreed, a gracious comment.
Good on you! And if the next morning they tell you about the noise in the befuddled way that Tories have, just tell them that is the sound of the sky falling.
Well, the Toddminster has done exceptionally well (financially) from his brief and inglorious time as a National MP. Maybe he's got a job lined up with another tobacco company. Good riddance!
... all that National can come up with? I suppose it might...
Crikey, Rosemary McDonald - condescending much? Richard Wagstaff, before becoming CTU president, was a leader of another union that has fought hard for equal pay - the PSA. I don't think there is much more education on this matter, and on how the Nat govt ...
An insipid, uninspiring end to an insipid, uninspiring leadership. Just the speech a CEO, who has a new company to go and wreck, would give in a perfunctory manner to the shattered remnants of a once-proud organisation.
Is the Nats get in again, I wonder by how much will they increase GST on everything (including food), to pay for their latest headline bribe? Up to 17.5% maybe? (used to be 10%)
Isn't john Key still an MP or something? Shouldn't he be doing MP stuff like, I dunno - running electorate clinics, being on select committees, going to parliament - things like that? I presume he's still taking a salary. Why does he have time to piss ...
... voting in of the first "Act govt", but there you go...
What a miserable existence!
PB, don't bail buddy - I have always appreciated your contributions to debate.
And I'm sure these cheat farmers were voting National in a few years, and applauding Bolger and Richardson as they 'got stuck into those lazy welfare bludgers!!'
"...Winston Peters took refuge in a tree ..." In a tree? Love it! Just had a great image of Winnie in a tree, beady eyes peering out at those below like an elderly possum. Surely the writer meant under a tree?
Absolutely correct, Bill. This letter shoots itself in the foot. Any decent employment lawyer would spot that contradiction, and not send the letter. Or maybe the big dollars on offer from the Talley overlords removed any last traces of professionalism for...
Cheers Vaughan Little; good to read your thoughtful perspective on this.
... places where ordinary people meet up, outside the Wellington beltway, I... Key said he was turning up for his triennial chance to...
Excellent!! I'm out there too in a few minutes, doing the same ... in the rain.... Oh well, firm up - there's an election to be won, and a Dunne to send off to retirement!
A huge billboard from this crowd has just appeared beside the urban motorway where it starts entering the CBD region. "RED ALERT: Labour gets you 30% Green", or something like that. Some seriously freaky fears of "reds under the beds" going on here. It ...
Excellent. Here's hoping for a long, slow release that has Key and co squirming for the next few weeks.
Agreed. Demographics have changed a lot. Churton Park is a fast growing suburb in the electorate, composed of McMansions and relative wealth. The electorate is turning blue. When Dunne goes, it will probably go National, as Labour will cease to benefit ...
So, Big Bruv, you work 70 hours per week. So that's an average of 10 hours per day, every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday. That's an 8am to 6pm workday, with no breaks, every day. With that relentless approach to work, your hourly ...
Todd Niall - good (PSA) union member and delegate, and thoroughly good bloke. Also wrote a book about the homegrown NZ car, the Trekka. One of the best guys in the MSM.
