New Zealand workers strike for better pay, mirroring public sector tensions.

Nearly 3,000 unionized workers at New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment are on strike until late January over a zero percent pay offer.

The strike follows similar actions by other public sector workers and highlights ongoing tensions between unions and the government over pay and job security.
