Seattle Children’s hospital nurses picket for better wages, working conditions

Chants, picket signs and honking filled the 41st Avenue Northeast and Sand Point Way Northeast intersection in front of Seattle Children’s hospital Tuesday.

Nurses at the pediatric hospital, represented by the Washington State Nurses Association, held an informational picket for higher wages amid a staffing shortage.

The nurses association and Seattle Children’s leadership have held nine bargaining sessions over four months and are still negotiating a new contract.
