Nurses and other health workers are stopping work for two hours from today to attend meetings to consider the health authority's latest pay offer.
Nearly 60 meetings are being held over the coming days for nurses, midwives and health care assistants, who belong to the Nurses Organisation and work for Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand.
The union says members have asked for a pay offer to match inflation but the proposed deal falls well short.
Charlotte Cook speaks with Tracy Black, a nurse at Whakatane Hospital and an NZNO delegate.
