Join in solidarity with striking workers across the motu!
On 23 October 2025, unions in towns and cities all over Aotearoa New Zealand will be striking in a co-ordinated protest of the government's anti-worker and anti-Te Tiriti actions. Healthcare workers, teachers, and others in the public sector want safe staffing and fair pay. Since the current coalition government has refused to provide workers with what they need to do their jobs, unions have responded by organising the biggest walk-off in 40 years.
