Nearly 900 Fisher and Paykel Healthcare workers look set to strike after mediation failed on Friday.

The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare production, maintenance and distribution workers work at the company's Highbrook plant. EPMU and NDU, who are organising the workers, have lodged a strike notice to take effect on Wednesday 21 September.

The parties were unable to agree on a new collective agreement at an all-day mediation hearing.

EPMU director of organising Rachel Mackintosh, says the unions are still open to negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement with management that would avert the strike action.
