RNs to Begin Strike Friday at 5 East Bay Sutter Hospitals

http://www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/entry/east-bay-sutter-nurses-to-hold-7-day-strike-may-17-to-24/

The walkout will affect more than 3,100 RNs as well as respiratory, X-ray and other technicians at Alta Bates Summit facilities in Berkeley and Oakland, Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, and Sutter Delta in Antioch. Additionally, a strike May 23 and 24 will affect 1,400 RNs at two HCA-affiliated San Jose hospitals, Good Samaritan and Regional Medical Center.

On Wednesday the RNs withdrew plans to strike San Leandro Hospital following an announcement late Tuesday that Alameda County has signed a letter of intent to assume ownership of that facility from Sutter and turn it into a publicly owned and operated facility.
