Nurses Strike Day dawns and I wish to say: please pay them as much as you possibly can, and then a bit more as well. Also, please consider this, from David Wait of the Nurses Organisation
Ironically some DHBs have requested to have more staff on strike day to provide life-preserving services than they would ordinarily have in their wards on a non-strike day. That staff levels are regularly below life-preserving services levels should concern everyone.
