Photo: Peter McIntoshIn a continuing bid for better pay and working conditions, Dunedin's Idea Services support and administration workers will go on strike for a third time on Monday. It follows failed mediation on May 8, when Idea Services negotiators walked out of union negotiations with no resolution in sight. About 40 Idea Services staff picketed outside their King Edward St office, in Dunedin, early last month. They were among about 3000 Idea Services support staff who provide care for intellectually disabled people in the country's Idea Services residential care homes.
