“Working 12-hour shifts, working with 26 patients per one nurse is not ideal, and it’s not safe for nurses to work with that many patients in one place,” she said. The union, which says this will be the largest health care worker strike in US history, is pushing for pay increases and protections against subcontracting and outsourcing of labour.Wednesday’s strike comes during a year in which the US has seen an unusually high level of industrial action as workers struggle with inflation levels not seen in a generation.
More than 25,000 workers are on strike in 21 states — around 17 per cent of UAW’s 146,000 members — as talks continue.
