Seattle, January 29 (RHC)-- In the U.S. city of Seattle, Washington, thousands of nurses and caregivers at the Swedish-Providence Medical Center launched a three-day strike to demand fair wages, adequate staffing and better conditions for patients.
The labor action is part of a statewide strike against corporate giant Providence Health & Services, which healthcare workers say prioritizes profits over patient care.
With up to 13,000 workers poised to walk off the job this week, union leaders say it could be the largest healthcare strike in recent U.S. history.
