In short:

About 50,000 nurses and midwives have walked off the job across NSW.

The NSW Nurses and Midwives Association have been in an ongoing pay dispute with the government, brought to a head this week after police were offered a historic 39 per cent increase.

What's next?

The NSW government is considering arbitration in the Industrial Relations Commission.

Unfortunately had an injury and couldn't walk along with them. Good on them for having the guts and solidarity to walk out together.
