Nurses to strike three more times

From Morning Report, 7:23 am on 7 July 2021

Nurses are set to resume strike action at public hospitals throughout the country in a bid for better pay and conditions.

Last month 30,000 nurses walked off the wards in hospitals when employment talks with their District Health Board employers broke down.

They've now voted to to strike again for 24 hours on 29 July, followed by eight hours on 19 August, and another 24 hours on 9 September.
