Nurses, midwives and healthcare
assistants went on strike for eight hours earlier this month
and DHB Spokesperson Dale Oliff says since then, DHBs have
been talking to the union exploring options for a settlement
and setting dates for negotiations.
“As soon as the
last strike was over, we reached out to the NZNO looking for
ways we could make progress.
“We agreed on an
independent mediator to find areas of common ground and a
path to settlement.
