Covid-19: DHBs on health workers strike cancellation

From Morning Report, 6:48 am on 4 March 2022

Friday's planned strike by thousands of Allied Health workers at public hospitals nationwide has been called off.

The PSA pulled the plug on the day-long strike from 6am, and a strike planned for March 18, following a last minute Employment Court decision.

The court said the industrial action is illegal because it was over an equal pay claim.

District Health Boards spokesperson Keriana Brooking spoke to Susie Ferguson.
