5 February 2004
The New Zealand Nurses Organisation and the DHB employers negotiating the Lower North Island Multi Employer Collective
Agreement (MECA) have agreed on proposed terms of settlement for the MECA.
The MECA covers seven DHBs - Taranaki Health, Hutt Valley DHB, Whanganui DHB, Wairarapa DHB, MidCentral DHB, Hawkes Bay
and Capital and Coast DHB.
The New Zealand Nurses’ Organisation will be discussing the proposed terms of settlement with its members prior to
releasing any detail to the media.
Initial meetings will be held next Friday for NZNO members to be informed.
The strike notice issued by NZNO for the 13th of February has now been withdrawn.
