Thousands of nurses across New South Wales have walked off the job demanding better pay, despite an Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) order for them not to, APA reports citing ABC.
On Monday, the industrial court told the nurses' union to call off the 12.5-hour-long strike.
The state government argued the strike would cause extensive delays at hospitals, impacting patients and delaying elective surgeries.
However, the Nurses and Midwives Association said its members walked off the job at 7am as part of their fight for a one-year, 15 per cent pay rise.
