The union representing hundreds of nurses at Rady Children's Hospital said Thursday that its members intend to strike for five days starting Aug. 19. The 10-day notice comes after another round of negotiations with the hospital failed Thursday and the nurses' union rejecting the third tentative contract deal earlier this week.
In an emailed statement to NBC 7, Rady Children's Hospital said, in part:"Rady Children's believes the most recent tentative agreement with UNOCH was fair, competitive and sustainable and allocated available funds to the areas we believe are of greatest need." With nearly 1,000 nurses on the verge of a potential strike, NBC 7's Omari Fleming has details on what happened and what parents are saying about nurses possibly walking off the job, again.
“We wanted to show the hospital we were serious,” said Langenstrass on the first day of the strike. “We wanted to make a point. We also have the kids in mind, right? Like, the patients are our top priority, patient safety is our top priority, and all those decisions led to a two-day strike.”
