Allied Health Workers Strike Picket Details
Tēnā koe
10,000 allied health workers in DHBs are striking for 24 hours on Monday 16 May because their employer refuses to offer a fair deal to conclude their collective agreement negotiations.
These workers are an integral part of the health system and they have been overlooked, overworked and undervalued for too long.
They warmly invite you to join them as they hold pickets around the motu.
PSA union organisers, union delegates and members will be available for interview.
All events are taking place on Monday 16 May 2022
