Nurses at all three of Santa Clara County hospitals went on strike Tuesday morning and plan to be on the picket lines until early Friday morning as they negotiate a new contract.The three hospitals impacted are Valley Medical Center in San Jose, O'Connor Hospital also in San Jose and Saint Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy. It is the first time in the union's almost 50-year history that the nurses have gone on strike. Something they said is a sign of just how bad conditions have gotten.
County leaders held a press conference earlier Tuesday addressing the strike, saying since 2020 nurses have gotten between a 30% and 42% pay increase.'We are facing a $250 million structural deficit as a county organization. We need a contract that is fair and sustainable for our nurses, and for all of the other dedicated public employees who provide critical services that our county residents rely on,' said Williams.
