If you’re in Wellington this Friday you might want to pop along to a quiz night fundraiser that Finsec and the NDU are running for the (illegally) locked out Open Country Cheese workers and the (now redundant) Telecom lines engineers.
Details are:
Time: 6pm
Venue: Loaves and Fishes Hall (just across the road from Parliament)
Entry fee: $20
There will be a free fish and chip meal and a cash bar.
If you want to register a team please email Andrew Campbell at andrew.campbell[at]ndu.org.nz by 5pm tomorrow.

The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
What happened to the court action on OCC?
the lock-out was found to be illegal (lack of notice). The workers are now suspended on full pay.
Last I saw, the judge still hadn’t decide on the legality of using the strike-breakers. But it’ll probably come out against OCC, any other decision would effectively be opening the floodgates for strikebreaking.
Is that email right? I thought Andrew worked for finsec, so I would have assumed it was andrew.campbell@finsec.org.nz or similar.

Cheers, snoozer, I wasn’t aware of the change of job. Lucky NDU I reckon. I see he’s filling Laile Harre’s spot on Nat Radio, too, which would make sense.
I understand it’s a fixed term secondment to the NDU for a particular project.
