Mike's Minute: Was the union win over TVNZ really a win?

Is the union getting the win over TVNZ in their desire to lay some people off really a win?

When TVNZ sacked me many years ago, a lot of people advised me to fight them. They said I had a good case and would win.

My argument was, why on earth would I fight someone who doesn’t want to employ me? So, we negotiated a cheque and I wandered on my way.
