What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.
A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".
What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? Let us know in the replies!

My Food Bag has contacted us at Neighbourly to tell us that as of July most Wairarapa areas are in its zones of delivery.
They are giving us a chance to try it for ourselves.
First of all My Food Bag is providing me as the News of Wairarapa representative a free trial for a week and I (with the help of my wife and kids) will be trying it out and doing a daily wrap up of the meal from Monday July 16.
In the meantime My Food Bag has offered a free one-week-trial to one lucky Wairarapa Neighbourly member. Just email your entry to piers.fuller@stuff.co.nz with "My Food Bag" in the address line and we will pick a name out of the hat at the end of the month and get My Food Bag to email you with a voucher.

If you would like to find out how well you could be hearing, then I invite you to visit our hearing centre in Johnsonville, for a FREE Lifestyle Hearing Assessment. We can even demonstrate what a difference hearing aids can make for you, free of charge and without obligation.
If you mention Neighbourly, we will give you a $250 discount off any hearing aid system you purchase... because we want to be good neighbours!
Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

There can be big differences in the prices – make sure you ask why. If you want a good result, the more you think about upfront the better. Follow our checklists, information, and tools to help you through the process.
