Nurses Strike

Okay, here's hoping Dorian doesn't make his appearance between October 10-12. The nurses at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center (ABSMC) will be on strike then! Obviously, the hospital will bring in other nurses, but I want the infamous amazing ABSMC labor & delivery nurses who actually know the hospital and can help me with the natural labor I so desire. Why do they want to go on strike anyway? Don't they make enough money as it is? It's actually the union that has called the strike, not the individual nurses, of course. And I'm sure I'll probably be grateful for pay raises in my nursing career too. But don't they know there are babies waiting to be born?!
