Providence Everett nurses plan to walk out Nov. 14

EVERETT — More than 1,300 nurses are set to walk out and picket Providence Regional Medical Center Everett starting Nov. 14.

Union nurses announced Monday they will strike for five days to protest Providence’s “unfair labor practices” and refusal to consider a contract that enforces staffing standards at the hospital.

“We have to take a stand for our patients,” nurse Juan Stout said Monday.

On Oct. 19, nurses voted to authorize a strike. After the last bargaining session Friday, they gave the hospital a 10-day strike notice.

They are being pushed by corporate overlords to do more, manage more patients, and never make mistakes until they are burned out and have to quit all together. Do these CEOs have a list of burnout rates? No, they just have an opportunity to hire new nurses at cheaper pay so they can push them into burnout as well.
