Tens of thousands of health care workers in the United States walked off the job Wednesday, beginning one of the sector’s largest strikes in recent history, as America’s year of labor discontent rolled on.
“Working 12-hour shifts, working with 26 patients per one nurse is not ideal, and it’s not safe for nurses to work with that many patients in one place,” she said. The union, which says this will be the largest health care worker strike in US history, is pushing for pay increases and protections against subcontracting and outsourcing of labor.
Industrial action is ongoing in Detroit, where the United Auto Workers union is engaged in its first-ever joint strike action against the “Big Three” auto makers — GM, Ford and Chrysler maker Stellantis — in a push for higher pay and better working conditions.
