Strike deadline nears for 3,400 Connecticut nursing home workers
Workers at 33 nursing homes in Connecticut could begin a strike on Friday, May 14, if their demands for better pay, benefits and staffing ratios are not met. More than 3,400 nurses, receptionists, dietary aides, housekeepers and laundry staff at these facilities have been working without a contract since March 15. Contracts at 18 other Connecticut nursing homes have expired as well, and workers at these sites could join the strike, should it occur.

The strike notices, served on facilities owned by RegalCare, Genesis HealthCare, Autumn Lake Healthcare and iCare Management chains, could be the beginning of a larger work stoppage this spring.
But a strike notice does not guarantee employees will walk off the job on May 14. And if there is a work stoppage, it could be indefinite or it could be a fixed period, such as one or two days. ....
