Re: The Hobbit Movie (stuff)
...how grim the conditions can be - rain, cold, extreme driving to get to positions, etc.
You mean that if I voluntarily take a "non-acting" job for a movie that means:
1. I may have to drive all the way to work.
2. It might rain while I'm working.
3. It might be cold where I have to work.
4. I may have to actually WORK.
5. I may have to work overtime to complete a time restricted "project."
:scream:
Then as a "union" worker I demand:
1. A bus to drive me to work & someone to drive the Union bus driver to work.
2. Another union guy to hold an umbrella for me so I don't get all soakie.
3. A space heater designated as mine & mine alone- carted around by another Union worker who has his own umbrella carrying union worker with another union worker carrying their space heaters.
4. Three- 15 minute breaks because the other 15 minutes of work are too exhausting for me.
5. Working extra demands x2 - x3 pay and a steak & lobster dinner onthe barbie to soothe my stressed nerves after making that extra money.
As I said, if those Nz union "shakedown artists"
IMP: win their boycott vs. The Hobbit they can have a last party at the docks as they watch their livelihoods & industry sail away to friendlier locals. Considering that the LotR movies had already paid all their workers ABOVE union wage for nearly 6 years they have zip to boycott about. :angry:
If union workers want to complain about "grim conditions" let them get their a$$ in the military & server overseas for a couple of years, then I might give their concerns a listen to.
