Dozens of registered nurses in the East Bay were set to walk off the job Wednesday for a one-day strike over staffing and patient safety.
Nurses at John Muir Behavioral Health Center in Concord hit the picket lines at 7 a.m. for the one-day strike to protest the hospital's refusal to address demands for a fair contract, acording to the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United (CNA/NNU).
The strike comes after an April 13 strike authorization vote by the Concord nurses.
