DESCRIPTION: A delegation of registered nurses representing 10 Northern California 
 Sutter Health hospitals who are currently in bargaining will present to 
 Sutter CEO Pat Fry cards signed by a vast majority of the 4,200 RNs, 
 pledging to strike if key issues of patient care and healthcare coverage 
 are not resolved soon.   RN delegations have delivered copies of the cards 
 to the CEOs of their individual hospitals over the last two weeks.\n\nThis 
 latest action is an attempt by the CNA Sutter nurses to demonstrate their 
 unity and support for their bargaining team’s patient care proposals and 
 that reductions in healthcare and retirement are unacceptable. “I have 
 dedicated my life to this community hospital,” said Linda Carter, an 
 intensive care unit RN at St. Luke’s Hospital in San Francisco for 37 
 years who will be a part of Tuesday’s delegation. “The nurses feel that 
 Sutter is not taking us seriously and we have to stand up for what is right 
 for our patients and for our profession. This is a demonstration of our 
 unity and our support for our bargaining teams.” Delegation to Sutter CEO

 strike if an agreement with the hospital chain is not reached. There has 
 been no progress in bargaining over the core issues of the contract, which 
 include important patient safety concerns, adequate RN staffing, and 
 protection for nurse healthcare coverage.  Read More\n
