NZ: Maori dancers out on wildcat

Maori dancers employed at the Te Puia (formerly New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute) were out on wildcat strike yesterday.

The dancers are part of a performance group, "Mauri", which provides regular shows at the attraction. They walked out during the middle of an $85/head dinner and performance, then went to the offices of the attraction to stage a haka dance.
