Last Wednesday, 9,000 twin cities nurses and I voted to reject the contract proprosal offered by our metro hospitals. This vote, if not negotiated will lead to the largest nurse strike (12,800) in U.S history. Here I am with Maggie, Amy and the kids visiting after putting our "NO" votes in the box! We are all hoping that we will be able to reach an agreement and avoid striking. On the bright side, it has given me the opportunity to teach the kids about organized action. All of them came with me to our informational pickets and "1,2,3,4 More nurses on the floor" and "1,2,3,4 Safety is what we're fighting for" has been chanted many times at our house!
