Nurses Prepare Strike Vote at Hospital

Nurses at Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center are staging a marathon protest—picketing from dawn till dusk, handing out free drinks and tacos, and rallying for a fair contract after nearly a year without one. The strike, organized by National Nurses United, stems from the unjust firing of two union leaders and stalled negotiations since July. Nurses are demanding competitive wages, better retention strategies, and transparency from management, while also voting today on whether to strike—a last resort to get back to patient care. This isn’t just about pay—it’s about union rights, respect, and finally getting the hospital to the table. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
