Text Blog Entry six- A narrative or recount

This is an article is about the plan of Air Nelson's strike, due to the reason of they have done more work without extra pay. The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) organiser Strachan Crang said that pay rates had been wear away after the independent, Nelson-based Origin Pacific airline broken down. Air Nelson had taken on a lot of work without extra pay for collapsed Oringin Pacific. Air New Zealand was Air Nelson's parent company, which controlled the wages down. Air Nelson offered a three year deal of first year 3.6 per cent rise which followed by another 3 per cent and in the third year, a final 3.6 per cent rise to the wages. But the union wants 5.8 per cent rise in first year and 4.8 per cent in the second for a two year contract. The incentive of 3 per cent rise to front line staff will take an effect from July 1, which combined with Employment Court’s indication of the ambiguity of their notice, made the EPMU removed the strike notice.
