Unions, cancer and rodeos
‘ New Zealand’s unions are under siege, says TVNZ. In recent years they have lost the right to negotiate their own wages and conditions, and the historical privilege of compulsory membership. Big campaigns have turned into public relations disasters. As the unions embark on another campaign, they 'are treading carefully. On “Close Up” tonight, Phillip
Melchior reports on the unions. Research collated at the Otago Medical School indicates an epidemic of cervical cancer among young women in their 20s could be on its way. There are indications the disease could be sexually transmitted and doctors are urging all women tq have regular smear tests to catch it in its early .stages. Alison Parr
talks to two women who have undergone major surgery, and to the co-authors of an international report on cervical cancer. The New Zealand macho bloke is alive and well in rodeo, says TVNZ. On “Close Up” Carole de Colville looks at rodeo cowboys, their animals and their attitudes towards women competitors.
