Thousands of nurses in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) have taken the streets of Sydney’s CBD to urge the state government to accept their demands for a pay rise, improved maternity staffing, and mandated nurse-to-patient ratios.
The 24-hour state-wide strike began at 7 a.m. on March 31 for most nurses and midwives taking part, while life-preserving services will be maintained in all public hospitals and health services.
