Tired, frustrated allied health workers strike, urging fair pay

From Checkpoint, 5:28 pm on 16 May 2022

Surgeries around the country have been called off and appointments cancelled as tired and frustrated allied health workers strike for fair pay.

Allied health workers include the health staff who are not doctors, nurses or midwives.

They're lab techs, dental therapists, physios and - as one sign put it - your kid's therapist. They say they feel invisible and unrewarded.

Health correspondent Rowan Quinn and camera man Samuel Rillstone have been at the Wellington march.
