Hundreds of non-nursing healthcare workers are expected to hit the picket lines Monday morning.are set to begin a five-day, unfair-labor practice walkout Monday over what their union calls "bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics meant to silence workers.

The union, which gave a 10-day notice last week of its intended strike, said it is taking the "last resort" action after months of bargaining. "This used to be a premier hospital, but we are struggling to give the quality care our patients deserve as we watch staff leave and positions go unfilled. We fight not just for ourselves but for our patients that depend on us."

The Providence statement went on to say, "The union has also accused hospital management of engaging in bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics, including silencing workers. Providence Saint Joseph is committed to respectful discourse and urges caregivers to report concerns in a variety of ways, including via an anonymous integrity hotline."
