"Quincy nurses set one-day strike" by Jessica Bartlett | Globe Correspondent, April 02, 2013
Quincy Medical Center nurses say they will hold a one-day strike on April 11 to protest recent changes to the hospital that they claim create unsafe patient conditions.
And who wants an unsafe hospital, huh?
(Of course, if you read the Globe and other things you find most of them are unsafe. That's where the germs and infections come from. But given the choice between a chance of further life or dying.... you go take your chances)
According to a release, a majority of Quincy Medical Center nurses, all members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association, voted to strike after Cerberus-Steward, the owner of Quincy Medical Center since 2011, decided to shut down a 40-bed nursing unit and subsequently lay off 30 nurses.
Ah, the new steward of Massachusetts health care and future of care for all Amerikans, and after they said they wouldn't be whacking jobs when they took over.
So how long until they sell you off and saddle you with debt while collect a handsome payoff on the way out the door?
Though hospital spokesmen say the changes are in an effort to respond to market demands, nurses say that the switch from in-patient to outpatient services has created chaos in remaining areas of the hospital....
Yeah, that's what happens when you have a lot of angry nurses.
