    Nurses call the latest DHB pay another slap in the face

    Nurses call the latest DHB pay another slap in the face


    Thousands of nurses across all 20 District Health Boards will strike on Wednesday after rejecting it.

    This time around, the DHBs offered a lump sum payment of $4,000, which would be owed through the pay equity claim.

    The New Zealand Nurses Organisation's Glenda Alexander says members wanted to see something more substantive.

    She says that lump sum doesn't translate onto the salary rates, which means there's no ongoing benefit of that increase.
