New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union Strike w/ Wattie Watson: May 27th, 2022

The New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union has recently voted to go on strike, after Fire and Emergency NZ refused their demands. 

The union claims their industry is understaffed and underpaid, with working conditions that are unsafe and causing major health issues to workers.

FENZ says they're surprised that a group dedicated to saving peoples lives would put those same lives at risk by going on strike.

To learn more, Liam spoke to NZPFU national secretary Wattie Watson about their strike and the working conditions that lead them to it.
