Meaning what? You mean as in, gosh, we have to use this new technology
now, so we deserve more money?

And why not? In broadcast, new technology often means more complication.
So greater skills needed to operate it.


Complete rubbish, they seldom make stuff more complicated, just different.

Of course I do realise you think any 'worker' should be grateful for any
scraps thrown to him by his master.

Workers should be grateful that employers invest their money to make the
employee's job easier.
Not like the FBU for instance that insisted that high pressure hoses meant
more skill and cash.
Totally ignoring the fact that high pressure hoses are lighter and easier to
handle than the stuff the army had to use on the green goddesses when they
strike.
