ER doctors on strike at Ascension St. John Hospital over staffing issues
April 23, 2024 // Health care workers in the emergency department at Ascension St. John Hospital walked out of their workplace on Thursday, April 18. Doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners who formed a union said earlier this month that their contract negotiations had been fruitless for months. The strike that followed this week was anticipated by both sides of the issue. The union said earlier this month that a strike was likely due to a breakdown of union negotiations. Emergency room staff on the picket line told Local 4 that their strike is about more than just money. Their main focus: Working conditions.
