industrial rash
Two rather unlikely groups of workers are taking industrial action in the next week or so:
- Starbucks workers - over pay and security of employment (Unite, which covers the workers didn't seem to have anything up yet)
- Kindergarten teachers - over diversification (massive changes to hours of contact time with children both per year and per week) and associated issues (NZEI, their union, has info here)
Just thought you ought to know.

i missed the telly stuff, as i was still at work, but i drove past the K Rd Starbucks about 2pm specifically to honk my support, but i think the picket was just over? i honked and honked, at the big group milling around, just in case :-)

Hey Span, My soon-to-be sister-in-law and mother-in-law were on the march for Kindy teachers today - were there any photos?
there are a few up here from around the country:

also the front page of the NZEI website is a good place to get the latest news and find out more about getting involved:
