西雅图儿童医院的注册护士已投票批准在合同谈判失败时进行可能的罢工,并列举了公平薪酬、安全人员配置和工作场所暴力保护等尚未解决的问题。 Registered nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital have voted to authorize a potential strike if contract talks fail, citing unresolved issues like fair pay, safe staffing, and workplace violence protections. 此次投票得到2 100多名护士的支持,此前举行了30多次讨价还价会议,医院拒绝满足关键需求,包括市场工资和休息救济。 The vote, supported by over 2,100 nurses, follows more than 30 bargaining sessions and the hospital’s refusal to meet key demands, including market-rate wages and break relief. 护士说医院雇用了一家反工会公司, 谈判延迟阻碍了进展。 Nurses say the hospital’s hiring of an antiunion firm and delayed negotiations hinder progress. 医院为符合条件的工作人员提供17.4%的平均工资增长和全面医疗保险,但由于资金削减而面临财政紧张。 The hospital offers a 17.4% average wage increase and full healthcare coverage for eligible staff but faces financial strain from funding cuts. 罢工如果被叫来,将是该医院118年史上的第一个罢工,需要提前10天通知。 A strike, if called, would be the first in the hospital’s 118-year history and require 10 days’ notice.
