This is not the first strike in recent times over this issue, with a two hour strike having taken place in during October this year.

Rail and Maritime Transport Union General Secretary, Wayne Butson, told Radio New Zealand that industrial action was the only alternative after months of negotiations..

Reuben McLaren spoke to Wayne Butson to find out more.

This Day in History takes us back to 1971, which saw a massacre in Bangladesh carried out by the Pakistani military, with the support of paramilitary forces.

This was the culmination of tensions following the partition of the Indian sub-continent by departing British colonial authorities, which had been exacerbated by Cold War geopolitics.

This Day in History uses news footage which reflects contemporary attitudes, these do not necessarily reflect the views of 95bFM.
