Nurses in New Zealand plan a strike starting Dec 3, protesting pay and staffing concerns.

Nurses in New Zealand are planning a nationwide strike starting December 3rd, protesting a pay dispute with Health NZ. The union argues that the proposed 1% pay increase for the first year and no raise for the second year undervalues their work. They also fear patient safety risks due to plans to pause a digital staffing system, which could lead to understaffing in hospitals. Health NZ has yet to comment.
