| DÉJÀ
VU ALL OVER AGAIN — Washoe Med nurses picket during
a one-day strike
on 6-23-2001. The issues were the same as during a 1990
organizing drive and remain today: Understaffing which erodes
patient care so that the conglomerate may profit and proliferate
on the backs of health care consumers and taxpayers. |
