New South Wales nurses and midwives are set to strike next week over state-wide staffing shortages.
Nurses and midwives have plans to stop working next week in a bid to force the government to address staffing shortages and to offer more substantial pay rises.
The strike, which has been orchestrated by members of the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association, is set to place next week on Tuesday, June 28.
Members of the NSWNMA from 80 hospitals will cease working for up to 24 hours with workers from Bankstown and Liverpool striking for the full 24 hours while healthcare staff from Campbelltown, Blacktown and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital will strike for 12 hours.
