The workers, represented by hospital’s chapter of National Nurses United, claim staffing levels at the hospital are unsafe, particularly in the intensive care units.
The hospital refuted that claim in a statement, saying it follows strict procedures to ensure safe staffing, according to the report.
“We re-evaluate the needs of our patients on a regular and ongoing basis, and adjust our staffing as needed to ensure we are providing the best care possible,” the hospital added.
The protest comes as the union is in contract negotiations with the hospital.
