Rad alt alive. Thanks for your comments. Your own version of "toughen up princess" to be sure.
Archaic industrial laws you refer to came into effect in 2009, just after captain cook landed on these shores to be sure.
As far as I am aware, F/A union has not tested this in the employment court, but am sure they will follow suit.
In using the NZ marketplace as a way to lower terms and conditions, local laws must also be respected.
Good luck in your management aspirations.
