Nurses Strike

Nurses of the Pomona Valley Community Hospital Medical Center began their 5-day strike Wednesday morning in protest of unfair pay and unsafe patient-to-nurse ratios.

The union has offered the nurses a five percent increase in their salary for the next three years. The hospital also offered a five percent increase for the first year, but are only giving a four percent increase in the following the next two years.
