United Nurses of Children's Hospital Teamsters Local 1699 intends to begin a strike at 7 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19 and end at 6:59 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24 following failed negotiations between the hospital and the union.
A union representing nurses at children's hospitals is preparing for a five-day strike of more than 1,600 employees at Rady Children's Hospital later this month, it was announced Friday.
"After the membership voted down the hospital's latest offer, we wanted to swiftly get back to the table to try to secure a fair contract for our 1,600 nurses," said Katie Langenstrass, executive director of UNOCH 1699."Despite making our demands clear, the hospital has yet again refused to offer us the wages we are asking for and have forced us back out to the picket line.
As a result of UNOCH filing its 10-day notice to strike, Rady is entering its strike contingency plan to"ensure the hospital can continue to be the pediatric safety net for the community's children and families."
