Nurses strike at Robert Wood Johnson
At the same time, it's hard to feel too sorry for nurses who are paid as well as those at Robert Wood Johnson. The starting salary there is $60,000 a year; the average salary, depending on which figure you believe, is either $78,000 (according to the union) or $90,000 (says hospital management). Neither is too shabby.
Given the huge sums spent on the salaries of the 1,300 nurses, you would think management would be able to offer reasonable health benefits. And given the salaries the nurses are making, they should be willing to make concessions in other areas - including salaries - to come up with a health plan they find acceptable.
It's amazing they haven't been able to find common ground by now, two weeks into the strike.
