Michael Wood: E tū Negotiator on TVNZ's rejected appeal - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Employment Court has rejected an appeal by state broadcaster TVNZ, over how it handled staff job cuts. 

E tū union alleged the broadcaster hadn't upheld a clause in its collective agreement - which vowed to support staff taking part in changes to workplace practice. 

E tū Negotiator Michael Wood told Heather du Plessis-Allan “It’s a very significant ruing – it makes it clear TVNZ broke the agreement they had with staff.” 

Wood said “It also means staff that were made redundant now have a very strong case to take significant personal grievances.”
