More than 1,700 nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, went on strike Friday morning. The nurses, members of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 4-200, are seeking improved pay, better staffing, and a cap on medical insurance costs and copays. The nurses say that recruiting and retaining nursing talent should be a priority, to make sure that patient care is at its maximum levels. |
