Qld: Nurses take action over payroll debacle

Nurses have set aside next Thursday for a day of action over the Queensland Health
payroll debacle.

Nurses from around the state have agreed to hold the Our Pay Protest on April 29.

The action follows problems with the department's new payroll system .. which has seen
thousands of workers underpaid .. overpaid or not paid at all.

It will involve nurses wearing stickers .. badges and black shirts .. but won't affect
patient services.

GAY HAWKSWORTH from the Queensland Nurses' Union says the nurses themselves would determine
what action would be taken at each hospital.
