Thousands of unionized hospital employees intend to strike today, in response to alleged unfair labor practices. Union representatives have stated that union members have voiced their concerns over low wages for months- management has responded by illegally silencing complaints. Hospital management claims that the union’s allegations are an attempt to justify “yet another strike.” Management has asserted that they would like to reach an agreement, while the union prefers to go on strike. The most recent strike is intended to last for one day only, and should not have an excessively negative impact on hospital patients.
