Resident doctors are set to take to the streets, protesting a recent pay offer.
The Resident Doctors' Association say while some workers were offered up to 25% pay-rises, others were offered pay cuts in negotiations.
As a result, they'll strike for 25 hours on May 7.
National Secretary Deborah Powell told Mike Hosking that Health New Zealand's offer was uneven and unfair.
She said it's robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Powell said the strikes are a last resort as they’re going to mediation next week and remain hopeful.
