HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - The possibility of a nurses’ strike lingers at Kapiolani Medical Center.
Nurses will vote Thursday on whether or not they will strike in the middle of a pandemic. They say they’ve lost confidence in the hospitals management, adding that the hospital is dismissing their concerns.
The Hawai’i Nurses Association represents 725 nurses at the hospital.
Two weeks ago, Kapiolani Medial Center presented their last and best contract offer to the association. It was a 3-year deal with a 5% pay raise, and $500 performance incentive payment.
