Public servants hope their message on pay and conditions for the Government has come through loud and clear. 

About 10,000 union members from MBIE, Internal Affairs, NEMA, and the Ethnic Communities and Social Development Ministries, went on strike today - after months of fruitless bargaining.

Public Service Association National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons says Chris Luxon claims he has a laser-focus on the cost-of-living. 

"This is the workforce that his Government's in charge of - we want to see some of that laser-like focus of the cost of living when it comes to these workers."
