The nurses are unionized and met with management eight times. They announced a closed ended strike for one day when the hospital would not agree to basic safety in terms of staffing. Basic. The hospital chose the travelers over the nurses.

I respectfully disagree with you that both sides are to blame. Is this bad for the patients for one day? Yes. But what about day after day after day after day of short staffing? One shift short staffed can be disastrous for everyone involved. And hospitals have been doing this FOR YEARS.

If not these nurses, who?

If not now, when?
