More than 1,900 nurses at Queen’s Medical Center set begin 3-day strike
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – More than 1,900 nurses of Queen’s Medical Center at Punchbowl and West Oahu are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday at 11 a.m.
This comes after failed contract talks between hospital administrators and the Hawaii Nurses’ Association.
Nurses have been working without a contract since June 30.
Nurses and their supporters said they are striking over unfair labor practices.
The hospital said its latest offer would make Queen’s nurses the highest-paid in the state and among the highest in the nation.
The strike is scheduled to end on Thursday, Jan. 16, at 7 a.m.
