Registered nurses are ready to strike this week if union negotiations with a mid-Michigan hospital aren’t successful. Union president Dan Glass said if the union and Ascension Genesys don’t have a tentative agreement by Friday morning, May 24, the nurses represented by the union will hit the picket line for a strike. ... According to Glass, the union is looking for wage increases, but the biggest piece is staffing shortages and patient care concerns.
