That included allied health staff, social workers, occupational therapists, nurses and mental health workers. The NZ Union movement has never confronted a dead eyed free market acolyte quite like Brooke van Velden before. I have argued the Union movement needs to fight for the right to strike because that is the ONLY power that actually works! No rights for sympathy strikes, no rights for wildcat strikes, no rights at all because we have a Union movement too frightened to actually fight for them. Workers Rights are Human Rights.
