CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Nurses at University of Illinois Chicago have set a strike date for about two weeks from now, citing an inability to find common ground.
The nurses, there are 1,700, say they’re striking over a number of issues: pay, working conditions, staffing, security.
Their contract expired in August.
At that time they went on a seven-day strike.
The nurses say they’ll strike on Nov. 13 if there’s no agreement.
A statement from UI Health says it’s “disappointing.”
They do have three bargaining sessions before then.
