Nurses at Washington Hospital Center already decided to strike once this year due to the firing of 18 nurses who didn’t — or couldn’t, depending on your point of view — report to work during February’s snowstorms. After that incident, the nurses joined National Nurses United, the largest nurses union in the country. Now, word is that nurses at the hospital will strike yet again. According to a press release, NNU nurses who work at WHC will walk off the job at 7 a.m. on November 24, and return 24 hours later on Thanksgiving Day. The union, which represents about 1,600 WHC nurses, is pursuing the work stoppage as a way to hammer home a report (PDF) which claims that the hospital is understaffed. The hospital and the union are also currently haggling over a new labor contract.
