One-day nurse strikes effective in California

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio
LISTEN

About 12,000 Twin Cities nurses are voting today on whether to authorize a strike. If approved, the strike against 13 metro-area hospitals could begin no sooner than June 1, and it would last only one day.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Victoria Colliver who's covered many such labor actions as a health care reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle.
