The Public Service Commissioner's again sounding a negative note over New Zealand's major health and education strike tomorrow.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this is expected to be the biggest strike in New Zealand's history since the 1970s, with many unions expected to take part.
