New Orleans Nurses Deliver Notice for Three-Day Strike
Nurses at University Medical Center New Orleans in Louisiana will hold a strike for three days from November 11 to 13 to protest LCMC Health’s refusal to address nurses’ concerns about staff retention.
The strike is part of the ongoing first contract bargaining, with nurses represented by National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United (NNOC/NNU). The nurses have delivered their required advanced notice for the work stoppage.
According to the nurses, the hospital is being managed in ways that hurt the ability to retain experienced healthcare workers, including nurses, despite being considered an economic and technological marvel at the time of its construction.
