Nurses plan to strike starting at 7 a.m. that day and continue walking the picket lines until the morning of Jan. 2. The walkouts will occur at 2450 Ashby Ave. and 2001 Dwight Way in Berkeley and 350 Hawthorne Ave. in Oakland.Working conditions, continuing education and benefits are keeping the parties from reaching an agreement, according to the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United, the unions representing the nurses.
According to Sutter Health, nurses are demanding"an unsustainable wage increase of 40 percent" over four years, which is out of line with their peers. The average annual salary of Sutter Health nurses is almost $170,000, according to Sutter Health. The average annual wage for registered nurses in California is $124,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Isn’t it weird how whenever Democrats are in control all of the unions go crazy striking and holding America hostage?
