Deal struck to halt health strike
PA Wellington An agreement has been reached between the Council of Trade Unions, health-sector unions, health board general managers, and the State Services Commission that could avert next week’s planned 48-hour strike. ' A spokesman for the State Services Commission said last evening agreement was reached at midnight that would clear the way for a settlement to be reached. The spokesman said the settlement allowed for “formal renegotiations” to
begin. “Acceptance of the agreement will be recommended to individual unions for considerations by each union in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements and procedures,” he said. “Subject to this endorsement by individual unions, the 48-hour strike notices will be withdrawn.” Details of the agreement will remain confidential until endorsed by unions involved in the negotiations.
