The nurses, who are represented by National Nurses United, and the hospital have been at odds over wages and staffing levels in the nurses’ contracts since last summer. Nurses at the hospital previously authorized a strike in November, but held off after an agreement was reached to resume negotiations.
A specific date for the March strike has not been announced.
