Te Pāti Māori and others connected to the Toitū Te Tiriti (Honour the Treaty) movement have called for strikes as a follow up to last year's National Māori Action Day. Organisers called for all Māori and Tangata Tiriti to go on strike and protest the government's policies affecting Māori. "We're asking for a Māori strike and our people should turn out," Te Pāti Māori's Rawiri Waititi said yesterday. ADVERTISEMENT"Motorists in areas likely to be affected are advised to plan ahead to mitigate any disruption to their travel. He thought it was "wrong" for Te Pāti Māori to be advising people to take the day off work.
