(New Brunswick, NJ) — The strike by nurses at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital is in its third month — with no end in sight. The strike passed its 100-day mark this past weekend. More than 17-hundred nurses have been on the picket line since early August, demanding better staffing ratios, better pay and a cap on health insurance costs. Nurses contend their demands would ensure better patient care and safety. The hospital maintains it has given its best offer and would make staffing levels the highest in the state. Governor Phil Murphy has called on both sides to settle the strike but otherwise he has not intervened.
