Washington State Nurses Association protesting outside Seattle Children’s Hospital for fair wages and safer working conditions

Nurses and their supporters were protesting outside Children’s Hospital today from 6 to 9 and from 11 to 2. (There was a funny moment when they counted down right at 2 pm and then had to lower their signs, because apparently they negotiated with the hospital to have the protest during those hours exactly!)

They also emphasized that this is not a strike so anyone going to Children’s doesn’t have to feel like they’re “crossing a picket line”. (Although the person I talked to said nobody objects if you go in for needed care during a strike – there just might not be enough people.)

Drone shots were all from hovering over a building, not the crowd.
