Collins accuses unions of orchestrating politically driven strike

Judith Collins mega strike news

Public Service Minister Judith Collins has accused unions of orchestrating a politically motivated strike ahead of Thursday’s nationwide industrial action by teachers and medical staff.

In an open letter, Collins apologised to patients and students but said the strike was a “coordinated attack,” even claiming the Post Primary Teachers’ Association (PPTA) “prioritised Palestine” over student issues in talks with Education Minister Erica Stanford.

The PPTA dismissed that as “a misunderstanding”, saying Palestine was one of four discussion items sent at the ministry’s request.

Medical and public service unions criticised Collins for “playing politics,” arguing the government’s sub-inflation pay offers, staff shortages, and refusal to address systemic problems had provoked the strike. They urged ministers to return to the bargaining table instead of blaming workers.

  1. A few years back the government (with the support of the nats) had the teachers, nurses and doctors over a barrel. Now, the shoe is on the other foot.

    It would be nice if all those protesting were doing it because of what Jacinda and all helpers did to their professions, the country, and their health.

    • It would be nice if the whole country would be protesting against what Jacinda and all helpers did to their professions, the country, and their health.

  2. Remember- Collin’s husband is CHINESE!!!
    In China, strikes are not allowed.
    Can we see who’s following the modus of the Chinese model here?
    Next will be Social Credit, and the end results as seen below-
    Nations all do the same thing in parallel lockstep to a timeline. Covid proved this simultaneous lockdown(s) on a global scale.
    Here, Collins is trying to get Digital ID passed, which ALWAYS has Social Credit following…

    PREVIEW OF YOUR DYSTOPIAN DIGITAL ID FUTURE
    Via Camus

    Deleted, not broke. In China, thousands of young people are homeless—not for lack of money, but because the social credit system erased them. Every move, word, and purchase is scored. Blacklisted?

    Your WeChat Pay dies, salary stops, and you can’t buy food or a train ticket. Digitally dead, they sleep on streets, shamed by apps exposing their “debts.” No crime, just a low score. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s China, 2025.

    Now, the world’s pushing digital IDs and CBDCs, tying your life to a single digital score. One glitch, one dissent, and you’re cut off. China’s dystopia is a warning: when tech tracks and controls, how long until you’re deleted?

    THIS IS WHAT JUDITH COLLINS AND THE UNI-PARTY OF NEW ZEALAND ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT!

    VOTE FOR THE NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY, AND ‘SOCIAL CREDIT’ WILL BE BANNED HERE, ALONG WITH DIGITAL I.D..

  3. Yeah nah, this is entirely this current and the previous governments fault. Under funding, wasteful spending such as the Kiev regime, draconian cuts to essential services, etc.

    Its funny too how they can always waste our money on military spending but never where its most urgently needed. As for Palestine, its good to see an organisation that has a conscience, in that regard. Where’s Nationals condemnation and sanctions on Israel?

    Suffice to say Judith, time for you and your little mates, to exit stage right next election.
