Trades
Hall Meeting
A
meeting at Trades Hall on Wednesday was apparently attended by around 80
traders and was the usual mix of heavy debate and emotion that you would expect
from a union meeting. We understand that CEO Malcolm McCullough went along to
the meeting to give a management perspective but was refused entry.

Snap Poll On Renewal
Management
conducted a trader survey yesterday in parts of the top end yesterday. It was a
survey to determine how well the information given at recent trader meetings
had filtered out into the bulk of traders but it included a question about
renewal. Traders were given the opportunity to declare their attitude to
renewal as a Yes, No, or Unsure.
A
quick discussion with some of the traders after the poll indicated that
"Unsure" was a common response and, given the situation, that sounds
quite reasonable. Many were grateful that the third option was available. They
didn't want to say "Yes" until they knew more, and they didn't want
to say "No" because they felt some change was needed.
Wi-Fi
Under The Sheds
We
understand that facilities have been installed under the sheds in the top end
to provide public wi-fi. Not sure whether that has been turned on yet but you
might like to check occasionally on your mobiles.
