Mass. Union asks nurses at UMass to OK strike

The Boston Globe reports:

The union representing about 850 registered nurses at UMass Memorial Medical Center's University Campus in Worcester has asked its members to authorize a strike, a sign that a nine -month contract dispute is worsening.


The union said its members are angry over the hospital's demands for concessions on pensions, health benefits, wages, paid days off, and layoff language. Negotiations began in January and little progress has been made, though the contract expired in April.

A future glimpse of national health care in America.As you can see the unions don't care about the "public" they care about getting more money out of the public.
