Court staff strike

More than 1800 court staff across New Zealand walked off the job this morning for the second time this week.

They went on strike for two hours after 10am over their continuing pay dispute - the fourth strike in two weeks.

The workers were also continuing working to rule, Public Servants Association (PSA) national secretary Richard Wagstaff said.

"They've been taking action because they're fed up with being paid less than other public service workers."

The striking staff members were responsible for collecting fines and worked at courts and tribunals New Zealand-wide,

Court management was not immediately available for comment.
