Danes Warned Against NZ Experiment

"Danish unions will today premiere a film which warns Danish people against
a repeat of the New Zealand neo-liberal policies by its recently elected
Liberal Government," Council of Trade Unions president Ross Wilson said
today.The Danish documentary film "New Zealand Eksperimentet" produced by Hans
Kragh-Jacobsen, and researched by New Zealander Wayne Brittenden, premieres
in Copenhagen today.

"The CTU has provided a lot of information to the Danish trade union
movement over the past year or so and the film follows other reports which
Danish unions have published," Ross Wilson said.

As a keynote speaker to a conference in Elsinore Denmark last week,
sponsored by the European Union and the Danish Government, Ross Wilson
provided a similar analysis, including the adverse impacts on workplace
health and safety.

"There is widespread concern in Denmark that their Government is going to go down the same ideological path as our Governments of the past 15 years, and they are determined to learn from our mistakes," Ross Wilson said.

Ross Wilson's keynote address to the Elsinore Conference, attended by 41
countries, is on the CTU website:
