Over 5,000 frontline healthcare professionals walked off the job at Providence hospitals and clinics across the Beaver State.

Striking nurses are seeking higher wages, better nurse-to-patient ratios, more paid time off, and lower out-of-pocket costs on their healthcare plans. Doctors want Providence to cap hospital admissions when patient numbers climb too high.

They don’t just want fair pay. They want working conditions that aren’t dangerous to patients.

Good on them for standing up, and shame on the greedy assholes that pushed them into this position.

They were more than heroes; they were the union.
