New Zealand’s resident doctors have decided not to take strike action later this month, due to this week’s 7.8 quake in the South Island. The doctors had planned to walk off the job for a second time this year for 48 hours, beginning at 7am on November 23, and had notified all 20 DHBs. The union currently in negotiation with the Government over pay and working conditions, has decided to withdraw the strike notice.
