Nurses picket outside Good Sam Hospital in Puyallup amid workplace concerns

The WSNA release said that Good Samaritan has the fourth-busiest emergency department in the nation per capita. “We’re hoping that by picketing we will get our message out there and get the public involved, because that could generate more movement at the bargaining table,” said Savanah James, who has been a nurse at the hospital for three years in the progressive care unit and is co-chair for the union.
