James Anderson: Resident Doctors Association President on tomorrow morning's resident doctors' strike
Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
2,500 resident doctors are striking across the country at 7am tomorrow, for 25 hours. Mediation with Health New Zealand did not result in a settlement last week. More than 2,000 doctors had been offered raises of up to 25 percent, but about 300 would have had a 12 percent pay cut. Resident Doctors Association President James Anderson says the offer would have reduced their hourly rates. "I think it's probably being used as a way to pay for the pay increases - I suspect they're trying to juggle the money around a little bit."
