Nurses at Northside Medical Center stage informational picket

Updated:

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Nurses at Northside Medical Center turned to informational picketing on Wednesday to demonstrate their frustration over the lack of progress in contract negotiations with ValleyCare Health System.

Wages and staffing levels are the key issues on the bargaining table.

The president of the nurses union says the greatest frustration is Valley Care's unwillingness to negotiate, noting that it cancelled a bargaining session scheduled for Wednesday.

The nurses have not had a raise in six years and say the parent company of Valley Care is the most profitable health system in the country.
