"Nurses Stage Historic Strikes at Ascension Seton and Via Christi Hospitals"

Nurses at Ascension Via Christi St. Joseph and St. Francis in Wichita, Kansas, went on strike for the first time ever, citing declining working conditions, inadequate staffing, and management's lack of responsiveness. The strike resulted in temporary replacement of nurses by contracted traveling nurses for four days, despite the strike being scheduled for only one day. The nurses are demanding negotiations and a resolution to their concerns.
