What chewmanfoo is talking about is moving code from the controller into the model. Basically, the consumer controller would call the worker model (if one exists), not the worker controller. When you're in a situation where you need to run two or more controller actions on the same request then it's a sign that your implementation isn't optimal. To call two controller actions you need two requests, which means a redirect after the first one, which means you need some place to store the state between the events. It shouldn't be necessary.
