Temple Nurses Prepare for Strike
October 08, 2009 04:42 AM PDT
On September 28th, nurses from the Pennsylvania Association of School Nurses And Practicioners (PASNAP) held a rally outside Temple Hospital at Broad and Tioga. The nurses are planning to strike over a contract dispute with Temple University Health System (TUHS). The core concerns for nurses include Temple University Hospital System's refusal to negotiate over salary (including negotiations over cost of living increases); Temple's recent decision to phase out tuition reimbursement for dependents of hospital employees, and what PASNAP believes is an excessive increase in employee contribution to healthcare (TUHS is asking employee contributions to jump from $180 a month to $360 a month). The strike, originally planned for the weekend of October 3rd, has been postponed. In the following clip, Bob Cruice of PASNAP talks about Temple's tactics to resist the worker's demands. This piece was produced by Rachel Goffe. |
