Striking nurses explain "prehistoric" working conditions

Around 30,000 nurses across the country downed tools yesterday, in protest against pay and working conditions. The action comes after failed negotiations in which nurses voted on Monday to go ahead with the strike, rejecting a revised pay offer from district health boards. Our reporter Ella Stewart was there as staff walked off the job at Auckland hospital. She spoke with nurses Maxine, Emma, Carolyn and Rangi who said working conditions are practically prehistoric.
