Registered nurses at Chicago's Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital will walk off the job for 24 hours starting at 7 a.m. Central on September 3, part of a coordinated action at four Prime Healthcare facilities in three states, according to a notice filed by National Nurses United.
The union says the four strikes cover more than 2,200 nurses and health care workers and follow strike authorization votes it describes as nearly unanimous. Alongside the Chicago hospital, nurses at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno and West Anaheim Medical Center will strike, as will nurses and other health care workers at Shasta Regional Medical Center in Redding, California. Start times differ at each site.
