1146523 2010-10-20 19:18:00 Yep. The actors union doesn't care the slitest about the craft, technical and other non actor jobs just their own. No doubt they will move over to Romania or where ever it's being filmed and still have a job but the rest of the kiwis won't. First the unions screwed up Hollywood, then Ozz and now here.. paulw (1826)

1146525 2010-10-21 23:28:00 The thinking of these people is beyond me.

The employer is there to keep the unionists in a job.What kind of thinking is that?

And to provide 4 star catering on location. I've done a couple of TV commercials myself, and my company hosted a location shoot on its property. In both cases, the gourmet menu and quality of food was amazing, albeit under canvas.

Then, when the day is over, the actors and crew disappear home to their snarlers and mash.

1146529 2010-10-22 00:18:00 "NZ Equity constantly refer to 'good faith' discussions" what a joke.
That means as much as Anne Tolley saying "we have asked them to come back to the table" which makes her look good as it appears as if the PPTA is the bad guy

I think i might just boycott the movie all together.

1146530 2010-10-22 00:27:00 Should be like Singapore when the NTUC unionists get out hand they get pulled on trumped up charges and sent to Changi. prefect (6291)
1146531 2010-10-22 00:53:00 Part of the article says it all really
These clumsy, heavy-handed tactics have put at risk the livelihoods of thousands of workers and jeopardised a potential investment of a billion plus dollars into the NZ economy. They dont give a hoot about the actors, just their own over sized self image egos.
