They’re patient advocates like Ebola is an antibiotic

California nurses unions, which are to affordable patient care what AIDS is to the immune system, are gearing up to deal with Ebola in the only way they know how.

By going on strike.

Some 18,000 nurses in Northern California are planning a two-day strike starting Nov. 11, partly over equipment and training standards for the Ebola virus.

But… they’re doing it for the patients. Just like teachers’ unions go on strike for the children. And politicians steal for the people.

The union said in a Nov. 6 statement that Kaiser “continued to stonewall on dozens of proposals to improve patient care standards, as well as refusing to address the concern of Kaiser RNs about Ebola safety protocols and protective equipment, refusing to even answer questions by the RNs.”
