We all know that the little man, Il Deuce, doesn't take too kindly to failures, so I hope the Tanned one is on his game! A strike would endanger his bonus and longevity at The Village.
Or it could be Il Deuce doesn't give a $h!t about VANZ.
This is VANZ that is the issue, not VAA. There is no "protected industrial action" in NZ. There is no "Fair work EnZed". There is no binding mediation in NZ, its not even called a EBA. I don't think the Tanned one has noticed the differences in NZ and Aus industrial law either....
Il Deuce isn't dumb, he probably kept RT on as bad cop so he can keep his hands clean...
