Will you be striking for better pay in New Plymouth?
Hi neighbours,
Will you be taking to the streets in your community to strike for better pay? The nurses union has "strongly rejected" a DHB pay and conditions offer and is seeking urgent mediation. That means strikes scheduled for July could still go ahead.
Do you support the nurses' stance? What do you think of the latest pay offer? Let us know in the replies. Click here to read more. (If commenting, please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff).

HOUSING CRISIS FORUM, THURSDAY 18th APRIL
That's Tomorrow!!!
Don't forget to go along to the forum and hear what the NPDC and (hopefully) our government are planning for this area.
We still have people living in emergency housing in New Plymouth!!
Every day more and more people are living in their cars and living rough. Not because they want to, but because housing/power/food/life has become so expensive they can no longer afford to rent or get their own home.
What is to be done? Come along to the NPDC Debating Chamber at 9.30am and see if we can get some answers
