WVILLE NURSES STRIKE – CONTINUES 10-27-10 07:30 a.v.

What started as a 24-hour nurses strike yesterday at Watsonville Community Hospital, has now escalated into more. Nurses walked out yesterday in response to the hospital’s alleged avoidance of complying to their request of hiring more people, in hopes of improving care. Nurses had planned on returning to work today, but the hospital, which announced tentative deals with two other bargaining units yesterday, says the nurses strike won’t be over until Friday morning. The hospital, meanwhile has brought in additional workers for 3 days to cover the nurse’s absence.
