Blueprints S2E6 - Nurses Strike - NZ 2018

In 2018, nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants went on strike for the first time in 29 years. They won significant concessions from the DHBs, but their ultimate goal of addressing the chronic understaffing was promised and not delivered. At the start of the bargaining there was no campaign, and members of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, NZNO, built one themselves, against the wishes of their union leadership.We spoke with;Erin, a nurse based in WellingtonGrant Brookes, member elected President of the NZNO @grantbrookesnzGeorgia Choveaux, who started the campaign as an NZNO organiserFollow 1/200 on Twitter (@1of200podcast), host Huw Morgan (@huwcmorgan) or (@blueprintspod)Support 1/200 on Patreon so we can build a left-wing media presence in NZThanks to Masarima and Clone Records for the title musicThanks to Ethan Hunter for his musicPlease leave us a 5*  review, it helps other people find the podcast !
