A nationwide workers' strike has taken place in New Zealand

Perhaps the largest labor strike in history took place in New Zealand. This was announced on October 23 by the New Zealand radio company RNZ.

"This was another strike in a series of escalating protests and walkouts this year, but its colossal scale will bring most of New Zealand to a standstill," the radio company said.

It is reported that more than 100 thousand people left their jobs to strike.

The latest in a growing series of strikes and mass layoffs has occurred amid growing dissatisfaction with wages and working conditions.
