Barton Memorial Hospital Nurses Prepare for One-Day Strike This Friday

Registered nurses at Barton Memorial Hospital are gearing up for a one-day unfair labor practice strike this Friday, May 24, said California Nurses Association (CNA). The nurses say they are being forced to take this action because Barton Memorial Hospital management is failing to bargain a first contract in good faith. Nurses contend that hospital management is refusing to take the necessary steps to retain experienced nurses and schedule the staffing necessary to provide the best patient care possible.
