Notice has been given by these Unions of a national day of action on 25th June

The reason for actions planned for this Thursday, amongst others, are a push for salary increases and changes to the healthcare system.

The strikes, walkouts and protests will cause major disruption across many areas including schools (in areas where they are not yet on holiday), trains, buses and non-emergency health care. The strike action coincides with taxi drivers action against the online taxi app Uberpop, where they are planning to block the main transport hubs such as airports and train stations on Thursday.

At the moment there is no indication of how wide-spread the strikes will be and how many members will actually take part. While some unions are going on strike, others have just called for a ‘day of action’ and protest.
