The 11 APEX members are walking off the job at 8am, and will return 8am Saturday.
Those working in Northland will strike later this month.
Union spokesperson Luke Coxon says they're fighting for safer working hours and better pay.
He says the difference between what they're asking for and being offered is about 25-thousand-dollars.
Coxon says this strike alone will cost them hundred of thousands of dollars.
