Local News in Brief : Nurses’ Talks Continuing
Negotiations carried through Friday and will continue today between unhappy Los Angeles County nurses and county officials.
The nurses went on strike last week but were ordered back to work after three days by a Superior Court judge. The county has offered the 4,000 nurses who staff public hospitals and clinics a 14.5% wage hike over two years, but the nurses have asked for a 19.5% raise.
Talks are being held at the Sheraton Townhouse in midtown Los Angeles.
