A lot of milage to be gained by the bosses. OZ dollar just went higher than the US with little fan fair. Plenty of good times in OZ, the lucky country. I like their unions. NZ sucks in comparison, the workers need more security and autonomy. The 9 day fortnight, or 3 day weekend, what a good fucking idea but noooooooooooooooooooooo
Churches are monuments to self importance

>To be treated as employees instead of contractors for the legislative protection i guess (expensive for the company because of all the compliance costs plus stuff like annual leave, sick leave, acc employer levy). Gives them the ability to negotiate a collective and go on strike.
>To get residuals from ongoing sales (I believe)

Don't try and squeeze blood out of a stone.
Best Frenemy you could have!
excellent... you have several actors employed, but the conditions aren't great.
You play hard ball... and now the conditions AND pay are non-existent because they're all out of work.
Time to sit back and cry success huh?

There's far more to this dispute than it seems the media care to report about - but then, what do you expect from that general bunch of semi literates.......

CEO pay lifts off as profits stagnate
Despite most of the companies surveyed reporting falling profits, the pause in pay rises for top executives appears to have been limited to a single year.
The average pay rise received by chief executives increased from 1 per cent in 2008 to 13 per cent last year.
Big pay rises for bosses
A survey, released today, of 455 chief executives, general managers and managing directors found 48 per cent received a salary increase last year.

In other words they wanted the best of both worlds. The protection offered by the labour laws to employees and the commercial freedom of a contractor.

Oh yeah none of you will take that.
I believe the unions are simply asking for parity with their overseas counterparts whilst working on this film and the same rights to residual sales and profits, the movie company just wants to make the film in the cheapest location possible with as many tax breaks they can get. I understand the rings movies whilst they paid a lot of folks to be in work the income to the country was negligible once offset against the tax credits.
Didn't Sir Peter have take the studios to court to even get the millions he was owed?
Aww fuck it they are just kiwis and who the hell do they think they are asking for a fair deal.
Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

It's ok to say "fuck you" when you have a plan B (aka alternative employment)... (well it's rarely ok because we live in a small country and word gets around)
They did have all of that sorted before they gave the big ol' "fuck you" right?
