Take it to the Streets

They’re on the move, the nurses that is. Going on strike it seems.

From SF Gate:

As many as 4,000 registered nurses are expected to begin a 10-day strike this morning at eight Bay Area hospitals operated by the Sutter Health network.

This is the third action in six months against Sutter Health hospitals by nurses represented by the California Nurses Association, and today’s walkout is scheduled to be the longest. The union held two-day strikes in October and December, but nurses at some facilities were kept off their jobs longer because hospital managers said they needed to hire replacement workers for longer than two days.
