$8000 A Week Scabs At Sutter Alta Bates Hospital As CNA NNU Nurses & Techs Strike For 9th Time
After two years and 9 strikes the bosses at Sutter Healthcare continue to demand major concessions from the CNA nurses. On May 17, 2013 nurses and techs struck again against the concession demands of management at Sutter Alta Bates, Summit and other hospitals. Sutter bosses are also spending millions on police and paying the replacement scabs more than $8,000 a week. At the same time the SEIU UHW leader Dave Regan continues to order his SEIU members at the Sutter hospitals being struck to cross the union picket lines. There is growing anger among the nurses about the attacks they face and the war against their union. The 9th strike started on May 17, 2013 and will go on for 7 days.
