"It's an absolute disgrace"

If Silver Fern Farms don't understand that workers share a bond of solidarity and they are going to punish them for it, that reflects really poorly on Silver Fern Farms. It's an absolute disgrace.

The unionised bitching about the 98 cents they were docked for the Pike River 2 minute observance stoppage the other day. For stopping the chain and not processing any beasts for 2 minutes. In other words - unionised wanting to be paid whilst not doing any work.

To paraphrase, another view...

If Silver Fern Farms don't understand that workers share a bond of solidarity and they are going to want money for it, that reflects really poorly on the union. It's an absolute disgrace.

Yes, it is an absolute disgrace. How utterly typical of the unionised wanting to be paid for doing less.
