A nurses union planning a two-day strike next week in San Bernardino County, California has received some push-back from county officials, according to a report from The Sun.
The officials claim if the county has to bring on temporary nurses, it could mean millions of taxpayer dollars spent, according to the report. The county requested a temporary restraining order, and a hearing was set to take place this week, the report reads.
According to the report, San Bernardino County officials allege the California Nurses Association/United Nurses United, which has 1,100 members, did not agree to the same terms that other county employees accepted.
"A strike is a last resort for an RN," Chuck Idelson, a spokesman for the CNA/NNU, told the The Sun. "They would prefer to be at the bedside, taking care of patients."
