TV row steps up again
Film editors on both television channels walked off the job for six hours at 3 p.m. yesterday, marking a new phase of the film staff dispute—rolling stoppages, A P.S.A. spokesman in Christchurch said the rolling stoppages had been started because the chairman of the Broadcasting Corporation (Mr lan Cross?) had not “responded positively” to a package wage claim from the association.
Today’s action had not yet been decided, but would be announced as soon as it was, he said. Filming yesterday was not much affected—most editing had been completed by 3 p.m.—but rolling stoppages could again put a stop to the two TV dramas, “Rachel” and “Gather Your Dreams.”
The P.S.A. spokesman said the film crew staff involved were willing to go to arbitration if the corporation would agree to “minor wage concessions.”
