DEFIANCE NURSES 

A GROUP OF NORTHWEST OHIO HEALTHCARE WORKERS IS SOUNDING THE ALARM OVER THEIR CONTRACT. 
IN DEFIANCE, NURSES AT PROMEDICA DEFIANCE REGIONAL HOSPITAL ARE RAISING CONCERNS OVER STALLED CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, REJECTING CUTS TO RETIREMENT, HEALTHCARE, AND WAGES THEY CALL DANGEROUS. THEY WARN THESE PROPOSALS COULD WORSEN STAFFING SHORTAGES AND HARM PATIENT CARE, PUSHING EXPERIENCED NURSES AWAY. UNION LEADERS EMPHASIZE THE NEED FOR FAIR CONTRACTS TO ENSURE SAFE STAFFING, PROTECT NURSES, AND MAINTAIN QUALITY CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY. WITH THE TEMPORARY CONTRACT EXTENSION EXPIRING MAY 9, NURSES ARE UNITED IN THEIR CALL FOR CHANGE.
