The New Zealand Nurses Organisation says potentially over 30,000 NZNO members would be involved in the 24 hour strike, scheduled to start at 7am on Thursday, after nurses rejected the District Health Boards' latest pay offer.
Nurses voted online to reject the offer.The nurses have been in a pay dispute with DHBs after rejecting a $500 million pay package last month. Urgent 11th-hour negotiations are underway to try avoid the strike, which will affect hospitals and other services around the country.
