Thousands Of Northern California Nurses To Strike On Thursday
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Thousands of nurses plan to walk off the job Thursday in what's being called the nation's largest nurse strike ever.
More than 23,000 nurses at 30 Sutter Health and Kaiser Permanente hospitals in northern California plan to walk out for one day.
Members of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United are staging the strike saying "they will not accept attacks on RN rights to speak out for patients or cuts in healthcare or retiree coverage for nurses or other hospital workers."
While nurses at nearly all Northern California Kaiser Permanente Hospitals will be on strike, it appears most Sutter Hospitals in the Sacramento area will not be affected.
