Nurses at Heritage Valley Beaver (Pa.) have nixed management's latest contract offer and will strike beginning Aug. 23, according to an Associated Press report published by CBS Pittsburgh.
The Service Employees International Union Healthcare Pennsylvania, which represents the nurses, is against the hospital's plans to raise healthcare costs for the workers. The hospital has said the health coverage was fair and that nurses who use the health system's facilities are fully covered, according to the report.
Nurses at Heritage Valley Beaver also went on strike last month. The nurses' previous contract expired June 30.
