DESCRIPTION:Registered nurses at Fremont-Rideout Health Group will be on strike from 
 6:00 a.m., Friday Aug. 31 to 6:00 a.m. Sept. 1, the California Nurses 
 Association announced today. Picket lines will be up at Rideout Memorial 
 Hospital, Fremont Medical Center, Fremont-Rideout Cancer Center, and 
 Feather River Surgery Center beginning at 6:00 a.m. , Friday Aug. 31 to 
 6:00 a.m. Sept. 1, the California Nurses Association announced today.  
 \nPicket lines will be up at Rideout Memorial Hospital, Fremont Medical 
 Center, Fremont-Rideout Cancer Center, and Feather River Surgery Center 
 beginning at 6:00 a.m. Friday.  A rally will take place Friday, 11:00 am at 
 Fremont Medical Center and if hospital management continues in its plans to 
 lock-out the nurses, there will also be a rally at Fremont Medical Center 
 at 11:00 a.m. on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3.  RNs dispute FRHG’s repeated 
 claim that they are not locking out the nurses. “The nurses have made an 
 unconditional offer to return to work at the end of our strike,” said 
 Karen Miles, an RN, at Fremont-Rideout Cancer Center, and a member of the 
 CNA nurse negotiating team.  “The administration refuses to let us 
 back—that’s a lockout. Many supervisors have been using the word 
 ‘lockout’ when they try to intimidate nurses from exercising their 
 rights. If it’s not a lockout, what is it?”  On Wednesday, Aug. 30, 
 FRHG added to a long list of unfair labor practices by issuing a new policy 
 without negotiation with the elected RN bargaining team which threats to 
 withhold holiday pay for Labor Day for those nurses who strike on Friday.  
 Retaliation against employees who exercise their right to collective action 
 is illegal.  “These are desperation tactics on the part of the 
 administration,” said Lorrie Holt, an RN who works at the Feather River 
 Surgery Center, and is a member of the CNA nurse negotiating team. Read
