Hon ANDREW LITTLE: I've yet to meet a worker who goes on strike who does so willingly and because they think it's a fun thing to do. Workers take strike action because the situation they find themselves in is serious, and I hear that from our nurses across the country. And that is why we must all work together, with all the parties involved—the DHBs, the Ministry of Health, and the Nurses Organisation itself—to make sure we do the best for our nurses now and in the future.
