They have been working without a contract for more than a month.

The nurses' union says they're pushing for better working conditions, safer staffing, and better resources to serve the needs of the community.

I tried to get the union in - it was a close vote but it failed then. Once I worked for the VA hospital system, I truly appreciated my union there. Some unions are strong- that one was not the strongest but I was grateful for the benefits and support it was able to provide.
