Junior doctors strike over 'unsafe' working conditions | TVNZ Breakfast

Junior doctors are calling for the removal of "fatiguing, frankly dangerous and unsafe" working conditions as another 49-hour strike kicked off across the country.
Members of the New Zealand Resident Doctors' Association (NZRDA) took to the picket line at 7am today. The strike will run until 8am on Saturday.
It follows a new offer from Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand to NZRDA which would provide a pay increase to every Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) covered by the agreement, with an average pay increase offer of 18%.
