Striking Nurses Picket Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
New Brunswick, New Jersey - Nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick were on strike for a fourth day Monday.
Staffing levels are a sticking point between the United Steelworkers Local 4-200 and the hospital.
After contract talks stalled, more than 1,700 nurses walked off the job Friday. But passion on the picket line is not waning.
"Clearly, we're all united for a common purpose here," said Jennifer Kwock.
Kwock, who works in the neonatal ICU, said depleted staffing levels create dangerous conditions for patients and cause nurses burnout.
