NZNO members at Te Whatu Ora have voted strongly in favour of Safe Staffing strikes between 17-30 November. 

These national Safe Staffing strikes will occur at every place in New Zealand where Te Whatu Ora provides health services and/or disability support services. 

• Members will stand by their patients and refuse redeployment.    

• Members will also stand together and refuse to work additional hours or shifts.  

• Finally, for one week, members will strike by refusing to agree to changes to their roster proposed by Te Whatu Ora. 

Members may be asked to perform Life Preserving Services during their shift. However, they are on strike and may refuse to do so. Te Whatu Ora must take steps to only request LPS when necessary. The details are in each District’s adjudication decision.
