Rochester Regional Health Has A Plan For Potential Nurses Strike At RGH

Rochester Regional Health released a statement, ensuring uninterrupted care for the community during a potential nurses strike at Rochester General Hospital this week. If the strike were to happen, RRH said RGH will operate at normal business hours and has contracted hundreds of replacement nurses who were carefully selected and trained from a national agency. RGH is also moving forward with scheduled procedures, tests, and exams. Negotiations are expected to resume between the nurses union and RGH on Tuesday. As both sides continue to try and reach an agreement, RUNAP is set to strike starting at 7 a.m. on Thursday, August 3, for 48 hours, through Sunday, August 5.
