DHB's take nurse union to court

From Lately, 10:32 pm on 2 August 2021

Nurses are complaining they've been blindsided by a district health board move to take them to court over their next lot of strike action. Last week they rejected the latest pay offer by the district health boards and have now told them they will strike for eight hours on Thursday, August the 19th. The DHBs want the Employment Court to ensure they have guaranteed staffing levels to keep patients safe when nurses walk off the job.   Glenda Alexander from the Nurses Organisation chats to Karyn about the latest move.
