More than 20 Bay of Plenty people could be out of work as a result of a HealthCare NZ proposal with Tauranga workers set to protest today.
Tauranga members of the Public Service Association (PSA) were set to protest against the proposal that would see the disestablishment of 200 jobs nationwide.
Sixteen roles in Tauranga were set to be disestablished and replaced by call centre staff in Auckland, PSA organiser Chris Ollington said.
Five jobs in Whakatāne and a few in Rotorua had been disestablished too, he said.
The protest will take place at 3.30pm outside the HCNZ office at Waitomo House on Hull Rd in Mount Maunganui.
