PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Nurses at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital in Olney are one step closer to walking off the job.
The Einstein Nurses United voted Monday to authorize a strike, weeks after nurses hit the picket line.
They have been working without a contract for more than a month.
The nurses’ union says they’re pushing for better working conditions, safer staffing, and better resources to serve the needs of the community.
On Tuesday, negotiations between PASNAP, which represents nurses, and Jefferson resumed.
More talks are scheduled for Wednesday.
Jefferson Health said it was disappointed, but will continue bargaining in good faith.
A 10-day notice before a strike is required by law.
