Hundreds of nurses picketed in front of PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham on Tuesday, calling for improved health benefits and competitive wages as contract negotiations with the hospital remain stalled.
Bargaining between the hospital and the nurses’ union — the Washington State Nurses Association — has been ongoing for more than three months, with more than a dozen bargaining and mediation sessions held to date.
