HUNDREDS OF REGISTERED NURSES FROM CALIFORNIA ARE ON STRIKE ... TO PROTEST WHAT THEY CALL UNFAIR WORKING CONDITIONS.
SOME 15-HUNDRED NURSES FROM LONG BEACH MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER AND THE AFFILIATED MILLER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LONG BEACH HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE 24-HOUR STRIKE.
BY EIGHT THIS MORNING (thursday) -- HUNDREDS COULD BE SEEN OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL -- HOLDING SIGNS AND VOICING THEIR CONCERNS.
THE NURSES HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CONTRACT SINCE SEPTEMBER.
THEY SAY THE NURSE-TO-PATIENT STAFFING RATIOS ARE UNSAFE ...
AND THAT INCREASES IN THEIR HEALTH CARE PREMIUMS ARE UNFAIR.
THE HOSPITAL SAYS TODAY'S STRIKE WILL NOT IMPACT PATIENTS ...
AND THAT THEY HAVE HIRED REPLACEMENT NURSES.
