	Description:		Up to 100-thousand union members across health and education are on strike today. The action prompted Public Service Minister Judith Collins, to pen a letter to New Zealanders - saying the strikes are more about politics than outcomes. The ‘mega strike’ is being tipped to be the largest in our history. So, as nurses, doctors, and teachers take to the picket line, we’ll take a look back at industrial action in Aotearoa, and whether it’s all actually worth it. Today on The Front Page, Victoria University of Wellington emeritus professor Gordon Anderson, is with us to discuss the history of labour laws in New Zealand.
