Hundreds of public sector nurses and midwives at Wollongong Hospital will stop work for an hour today, Monday 26 August 2024, as they ramp up their fight for a 15% pay increase.
NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) members from 100 hospitals and health facilities statewide will walk off the job this week to demand respect from the government and call on the Treasurer to pay nurses and midwives what they deserve.
NSWNMA General Secretary, Shaye Candish, said after more than ten negotiation meetings with the state government, there’d been no progress on the union’s pay claim.
The Wollongong rally will be held from 2.30pm till 3.30pm, outside Wollongong Hospital, Loftus Street.
