The nurses of St. Vincent Hospital, who are working under some of the worst staffing conditions in Massachusetts, are engaged in a fierce struggle to protect their patients by convincing their management to agree to safe RN staffing levels. As they did in 2000, these nurses may be forced to consider a strike to protect their patients.
Today, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette is conducting a poll on their web page that asks the public to vote on whether they support the nurses right to strike if their concerns are not addressed by management.
Please visit www.telegram.com and vote yes in support of these nurses in their struggle to use all available means to protect their patients. Please share this widely with all your email networks.
Remember, their fight is every nurses fight.
