Some St John staff taking industrial action from 6am 25 November for 24 hours, and again from 6am 28 November also for 24 hours (23rd Nov 20)
The Bay of Plenty DHB has been notified by St John that they have received notification that one of their three unions’ members, will be withdrawing labour from 6am on 25 November until 6am on 26 November and then for a second period from 6am on 28 November until 6am on 29 November.

St John say the impact will be most noticeable in Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and Canterbury, and they have put plans in place, including rostering other ambulance staff to cover the strike action and undertaking additional clinical triage in the Ambulance Communications Centre.
