Over 1,700 nurses at the University of Illinois Hospital strike over pay, staffing, and safety concerns.

Over 1,700 nurses at the University of Illinois Hospital have gone on strike for the second time this year, citing demands for higher pay, improved staffing, and better safety measures. The Illinois Nurses Association has been in negotiations with the hospital since June, but the two sides remain at an impasse. The hospital has proposed annual raises of less than 3%, which the union finds insufficient. The strike is open-ended, with no return-to-work date set.
