We blogged last week about the EPMU-led standover tactics by flight attendants employed by Air NZ's subsidiary Zeal 320. Remember these guys? They are the ones that are going on strike next Wednesday, just in time for Easter and the school holidays.
The story has taken a new twist today. Air New Zealand is trying to recruit additional staff so that it can move its customers, but the EPMU don't like that. Not only are they, via their mouthpiece The Standard calling for the Air NZ CEO Rob Fyfe to be fired, they are trying to sabotage Air NZ's response. The EPMU is calling on people to falsely apply for jobs via Air NZ's internet site, even going as far to provide a dummy CV template.
What is it with these guys? They are quite happy to see Air NZ out of pocket, which of course will negatively effect the airline's ability to pay people! And they are quite happy for the holiday plans of around 20,000 people to be disrupted. This won't just affect out-bound travellers of course, so the New Zealand tourist industry will take a hit, courtesy of the EMPU. And we wonder - how many of those planning holidays in Fiji or Australia are union members or affiliates?
No, we reckon this is outright bully-boy tactics from the EPMU, led as they are by the Labour Party president-in-waiting. And it's a style of unionism we despise, and had hoped we had left in the past. It seems not.

I hope Air NZ fires them all, kind of like Ronald Reagan did to the air traffic controllers for holding the country to ransom.
Secondly, people need to really raise a big fuss, let the unions know that the public are not onside, especially in this economy.
Nah, just bring back the good bits of the Contracts Act then disenfranchise the epmu from politics.
Get rid of the scum.
