New Zealand is preparing for what is likely to be the largest industrial action in 40 years, with around 100,000 crucial workers, mostly in health and education, planning to walk off the job on Oct. 23.

It’s been confirmed that more than 36,000 nurses will strike, along with around 11,500 other healthcare workers, including senior doctors, dentists, social workers and others. An estimated 40,000 teachers will also stop work.
