2. Staffing levels and benefits have been sticking points for union members participating in the protest.
3. As the scheduled protest nears, officials issued this statement: “Contract negotiations are often challenging and we acknowledge that there may be a difference of opinion about the facts and issues during the negotiation process…We are focused on reaching agreement on a new contract for NUHW-represented employees.”
