Australia: Nurses and midwives staging walkout in New South Wales public hospitals untill 19:30 Sept. 10
Nurses and midwives strike at public hospitals across New South Wales, Australia, untill 19:30 Sept. 10. Reconfirm medical appointments.
Thousands of unionized nurses and midwives are striking in public hospitals in New South Wales until 19:30 Sept. 10. New South Wales Nurses & Midwives Association (NSWNMA) commenced the planned labor action from 07:00 to demand a 15 percent wage hike.
The walkout will likely affect non-emergency health services at public hospitals. Longer wait times will likely occur. Planned medical appointments Sept. 10 may be canceled or delayed. Lingering disruptions are possible after the strike ends as health workers work to clear backlogs.
Confirm medical appointments in advance and prepare for medical service disruptions through Sept. 10. Heed all official advisories.
