In the last 12 months there's been a swathe of industrial action including a megastrike - one of the largest strikes in New Zealand's history.
The industrial action in October involved of more than 100,000 primary and secondary teachers, primary principals, teacher aides, nurses, doctors, ACC workers, and other healthcare workers.
Polls at the time indicated the majority of the public backed the strikes.
There has been some progress, but many major disputes remain unresolved and a significant number of pay negotiations are due to kick off in the New Year.
It's been a year when Fleur Fitzsimons took on co-leading the country's largest union, the Public Service Association. She joins Kathryn to look back at 2025 and to the year ahead.
