Solidarity with nurses

Nurses went on strike on 9 June to fight for fair pay and safe staffing. About 30,000 members of the NZNO walked off the job for eight hours. In Wellington, more than 2000 nurses and supporters marched to Parliament on the day. ASMS was out with banners, flags and posters in support. Several union leaders, including ASMS Executive Director Sarah Dalton, addressed the crowd, along with MPs and the Health Minister Andrew Little.
