For the fourth time this year, thousands of public sector nurses and midwives have overwhelmingly endorsed a statewide strike, with 94% voting in favour of stopping work for 24 hours on Wednesday, 23 November.
We must improve our health system and hold the NSW government to account. Taking further strike action is the only way to ensure these unsustainable workloads are fixed and force the NSW government to deliver genuine solutions on the staffing crisis and a fair pay offer!
Nurses and midwives will hold rallies on Wednesday 23 November, join us and show the NSW government we will keep fighting until they act and deliver ratios!
