Weekend Edition | Seattle Children’s nurses vote to authorize strike as contract talks continue

(The Center Square) – More than 2,100 registered nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital have authorized a potential strike following a union vote. Registered nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital voted Sunday and Monday on whether to authorize their bargaining team to call a strike. The Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA), which represents the striking nurses, wrote in a post on Monday that the measure passed by an “overwhelming” margin. “Your vote to authorize a strike gives us more power at the bargaining table,” the union wrote in its post. “We continue to bargain fiercely to reach a complete tentative agreement we can be proud to bring to you for a vote without having to strike.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
