Nurses vote on pay settlement

From Morning Report, 6:42 am on 6 March 2018

The Nurses Organisation says a strike ballot is likely if nurses reject a new pay offer. About 27,000 hospital nurses nationwide will start voting today on the proposed settlement. It includes pay rises and a date for the implementation of a pay equity settlement. The union's lead advocate, Lesley Harry, told our health correspondent Karen Brown that if nurses reject the offer, there's no scope for further negotiations.
