Nurses in Minnesota, California Prepare for Thursday Strike
Twelve thousand nurses from 14 Minneapolis area hospitals and 13,000 nurses from California hospitals are scheduled to strike for one day on June 10.
The walk-out, which protests current nurse-to-patient staffing ratios and the fact that the nurses don’t have contracts with their hospitals, would be the largest in U.S. history, according to the Associated Press. The strike would involve nurses from all University of California hospitals, Citrus Valley Medical Center in Covina, San Pedro Hospital and Olympia Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Most of the affected hospitals will cancel elective surguries scheduled for the day of the strike. Also, replacement nurses have been trained.
