Nurses strike not about the money - Cee Payne

The Nurses Unions says the only thing that will stop a planned strike is more money. The union has notified DHBs they intend to walk off the job on July 5 if mediation this week doesn't bring an improvement in what they've been offered. The DHBs are optimistic a mediation tomorrow (Friday) will work, despite Health Minister David Clark saying the pay-rises put forward was the government's best offer. New Zealand Nurses Organisation industrial services manager Cee Payne joins us now in the studio.
