The Vice President of the Fiji Nursing Association Miliakere Nasorovakawalu says she wants 2,500 nurses to walk out of their jobs and then she will be willing to go to prison if the strike is declared illegal.

She told the union rally at the FTA Hall in Suva that she is willing to go to jail only if they get the mandate and more than 2,000 nurses walk out of the hospitals and other health facilities.

She also proposed that they should also get an open petition to get the sympathy of the public.

Under the law, the strike can only be legal after the negotiation process ends in a deadlock and the unions get a legitimate strike ballot where more than 50% of the members agree to go on strike.
