According to the union St John has claimed the extra pay has been factored into the hourly rate."The starting rate is below $20 an hour, if recognition payments for night and weekend work are factored into this, many ambulance professionals would have to be on below the minimum wage," First Union divisional secretary Jared Abbott said.
"To claim that the current rates account for shift recognition is incorrect. New Zealand's Ambulance Professionals are amongst the lowest paid in the developed world."The union said strike action was served to St John at the beginning of the week. The strike action means staff will not be covering work where other staff have been removed from duty to do event work."Event work, which is commercial income for St John, often gets priority over frontline services, so by refusing to come off the frontline to cover events actually makes more ambulance officers available for the public service. Action will begin on November 14 and continue until an agreement is reached. Members have also voted in favour of two further strike actions.

Auckland Night Markets are now in seven different locations across Auckland. Starting in Pakuranga in 2010, the Night Markets have steadily expanded and become a regular event in the local entertainment calendar.The markets are growing in popularity due to their appeal to all age groups. It’s a great night out for the family, and the undercover location means it’s an all-weather event.
The markets are free, but make sure you bring a lot of spending money, as there is plenty of food, fashion, toys and lots of interesting sights and smells to tempt the senses! The kids can experience food from other cultures, hear live music and watch performances. Buskers, magicians and dance troupes provide additional entertainment at some events. Food is the big component, where you can sample cuisine from dozens of different cultures. There are of course the ethnic favourites like Thai and Chinese, and for those looking for something different there are some rare delicacies on offer from most regions of the world. But we won’t spoil the surprise!

This included Pepper Kitchen in the city centre where Auckland Council health inspectors found a cockroach and rodent infestation in August. Infestations were also discovered at Catering Masters in Mangere, BBQ Noodle House in Albany and Davin Bakery and Cafe on the Te Atatū Peninsula. Lucky Grill Seafood Restaurant in Highland Park was also hit with an E-grade rating but this was because it was found to have poor storage and cross-contamination issues. Cleanliness and poor hygiene were found to be issues in all five outlets, while Pepper Kitchen was described as a "critical risk" because of its cleaning standards. A sixth outlet, Surasang in the Wairau Valley, was hit with a D-grade rating for "non-compliant labelling" and "undeclared allergens". The five E rated outlets were ordered closed until the issues had been fixed.They were then set to be given a new grading after 90 days.
