New Zealand border staff strike on New Year's Eve over pay dispute, risking travel disruptions.

New Zealand border staff will strike on New Year's Eve during the busy summer travel period, protesting the government's refusal to offer a pay raise. Around 100 Public Service Association (PSA) members will join about 3,000 other striking MBIE union workers. The PSA acting national secretary claims the government has disrespected staff, with pay talks lasting almost a year. The strike involves refusing unpaid work and taking collective breaks, potentially disrupting border operations.
