Life's a Pitch - when Unions get involved

Stuff: TVNZ irks unions with in-house competition

Isn't this great. TVNZ start an internal competition for staff to suggest ideas to help TVNZ gain more market share. The Unions claim that it's negative. "The New Zealand Writers Guild today described the competition as "a real blow" to the local industry."

Come on - if the local writers can't provide better ideas or concepts than the TVNZ staff, then they should just change places. This has got nothing to do with the Union, it's a company trying to do the best it can using it's own staff.

Hey TVNZ: I challenge the EPMU and/or the Writers Guild to a public debate (on TVNZ) about this. If they field a team, so will I.

Do I win the trip ?
