More than 500 nurses picketed outside the hospital this week.
Nurses begin a four-day strike at Ascension St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet on Aug. 22, 2023. The nurses will return to work at the hospital on Saturday morning.
Vera Appiah-Dankwah, who has worked as a nurse at St. Joseph for 12 years, told the Joliet City Council that scab nurses’ pay this week was more than she makes in a month. “St. Joseph won’t listen to us, but we want to do what’s right,” Nonog said. “I have to protect our community here. I need to do something.”
In a statement to the Chicago Tribune this week, Ascension called the strike disheartening” and said the hospital would remain open during the strike. The hospital also said it would continue to negotiate in good faith.
