Updated July 19, 2007 16:35:04

The General Secretary of the Fiji Nursing Association, Kuini Lutua is hoping that next weeks strike action may be called off if Friday's last minute talks with the interim government are successful. The government has threatened to sack all union members who proceed with strike. The Nursing Association is one of four remaining unions still threatening strike action over a number of grievances including the restoration of the five percent pay cut imposed recently by the interim government. Two unions have settled their grievances with the government and agreed not to strike.
