The nurses say there are overstaffing issues and they are not getting complete meals or rest breaks.
KIRO 7 News StaffHundreds of MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital nurses decided, on Wednesday night, by a vote of 95% to strike.“I voted to strike because I will fight to the end to keep my patients safe, even if it means going without pay,” said ICU nurse Atalia Lapkin.
“We are asking MultiCare to safely staff the hospital and have been denied at every turn, despite MultiCare having enough money for a new tower, a hospital rebuild, a facility acquisition, and big bonuses at the highest level.”“This strike is about safety across the board. We want to be safe and keep our patients safe. But for some reason the hospital doesn’t want to help us create a safer environment, which is why it has come to something as drastic as a strike,” Eubank said.
