Badge bother - tall odds

Sky City casino doesn't like badges. Especially those celebrating Labour Day. "A Service & Food Workers' Union (SFWU) member, working on the gaming floor at Sky City Auckland, faced disciplinary action this week after refusing to remove a badge celebrating Labour Day" (SFWU website) I'll bet they weren't happy having to pay overtime either - it's just a shame that some employers seem oblivious to the fact that their actions say more than they often mean them to. Perhaps the first line should be edited. No, they don't like Labour Day badges. But they do like other, non-work related badges such as Daffodil Day or Anzac poppies, just so long as they aren't union-related. Sky City gambling with the union(s) over industrial relations? The odds are with the unions, if you ask me.
