    Union delegates have given rousing testimonies to their fellow members on the eve of tomorrow's mega-strike

    Union delegates have given rousing testimonies to their fellow members on the eve of tomorrow's mega-strike


    Some 100-thousand workers across the country are stopping work tomorrow - fighting for better pay and conditions.

    A near-packed Auckland hall has heard from several essential service workers about their experience with underfunding and understaffing.

    One firefighter recalled a recent job where someone was on fire but their water pump wouldn't work.

    A nurse says she injured her back recently because they didn't have enough hands to move a patient.

    The members erupted in cheers for the workers, while chanting 'shame' at the Government and its policies.
