Although most were very well paid and had many other benefits Now we've had Health workers, Primary Teachers, Secondary Teachers, many of whom were justified in taking action - certainly not all. Airline staff now right on Christmas! Payback time for the Union support for the party which we have inherited courtesy of the "Union" movement and of course Winston. Just as well the previous government left the larder well supplied.	Woody (710)

You could count on there being a strike just before Xmas. Once while on a ferry crossing I looked at my watch to see that it was just a few minutes after 12 noon. When I got to the café I found that it was closed between 12pm and 1pm so that the crew could have their lunch break. Also I remember a newspaper article about industrial action because the crew needed to have their beds made for them.	Bobh (5192)

I seem to remember that these clowns could live anywhere in the country and they'd be flown down to Wellington when their shift started.	paulw (1826)
