McLaren Macomb Hospital nurses vote overwhelmingly for strike action
Six hundred nurses at McLaren Macomb Hospital voted by 90 percent on June 29 to go on strike when their current contract expires at midnight on July 27.
The overwhelming vote for a strike by the nurses at the 288-bed hospital in the suburban Detroit community of Mount Clemens, Michigan is the result of the drive by management to intensify the exploitation of the staff at the facility throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
While hospital registered nurses (RNs) have made enormous sacrifices and worked with short staffing and extended hours throughout the public health crisis, saving lives and assisting those infected with the virus, the hospital has used the pandemic to increase the financial payoff for top executives of the multi-billion-dollar McLaren Health Care corporation.
