Nurses' Struggle

Friday, 24 February 2012 - 8:00am to 6:00pm

Victorian nurses continue to stop work as part of their Respect Our Work campaign. Nurses stopped work at hospitals across Victoria in their ongoing industrial battle with the Victorian Government. Rolling work stoppages began at major Victorian hospitals on Friday 24 February.  3CR continues to cover the stoppages and the ANF's ongoing campaign. There is a online petition you can sign to get Premier Baillieu to save and improve nurse/midwife patient ratios.
