happy strike day!

TODAY WE STRIKE.

TOGETHER WE FIGHT.

So today as Nurses and Midwives in N.S.W. Australia had a 12 hour strike.

We are striking for better pay-a 15% increase over 12 months. This will keep us in line with other states in Australia. And better conditions, better nurse to patient ratios. Plus a lot of other things. We were promised things in the last State election…….

There were many sites across the state that had a rally. My local rally was outside the Premier’s office in Kogarah, who conveniently was not in his office today! We were able to catch a bus from work organised by the Union. There were some many people there… lots of signs, chanting and dancing! I am actually surprised I still have a voice!

Everyone was so enthusiastic for the cause!

I actually caught a bus to work this morning. There is a bus across the road from me that drops me at the hospital!
