## Transcript

Good. Nurses United will never be defeated. The Nurses United will never be defeated. We hope this comes to a resolution soon, but we're out here to stand as long as we need to to get a better contract, a fair contract. It's about health care, um, health insurance for the nurses. It's about safety, uh, patients rights. They hired many, many travel nurses. Even before we dropped our strike notice. We were forced to train our replacements. And they always say they never have enough money to basically give us more staff. They have the staff now. They have us out here. I guess it only counts when it matters to them.

It matters to us every single day. We need staff every single day. Not only when there's a strike, if the nurses are outside, it's not because of wages. What we're asking for is our health insurance. They're talking about making cuts to our health insurance. They're talking about disseminating basically what we have. We went through Covid. What if another pandemic comes? What about our health insurance? What about our safety in regards to that?
