Mental health workers in the South Island will strike this week

The E tu union says up to 40 Gateway Trust employees will walk off the job
for an hour on Tuesday.

Workers are protesting delays to new employment conditions - after their
collective agreement expired more than two years ago.

E tu says any attempt to iron out the issues has been met with excuses and
workers, who are worried about a restructure, feel like they are being
bullied.

The Nelson-based Gateway Trust provides services in Greymouth, Nelson,
Motueka, and Blenheim.
