Seattle Children’s nurses vote to strike over pay, staffing, and safety, pending failed negotiations.
Registered nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital have voted to authorize a potential strike if contract talks fail, citing unresolved issues like fair pay, safe staffing, and workplace violence protections.
The vote, supported by over 2,100 nurses, follows more than 30 bargaining sessions and the hospital’s refusal to meet key demands, including market-rate wages and break relief.
Nurses say the hospital’s hiring of an antiunion firm and delayed negotiations hinder progress.
The hospital offers a 17.4% average wage increase and full healthcare coverage for eligible staff but faces financial strain from funding cuts.
A strike, if called, would be the first in the hospital’s 118-year history and require 10 days’ notice.
