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.

    What happened to the court action on OCC?

    • snoozer 1.1

      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.

The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
