Grandma's House

Nurses at the second largest hospital in St. Louis walked off the job today over a union dispute regarding their pay. Now I'll grant you nurses don't get paid enough for what they have to cope with; however, they should never walk off the job. Those patients depend on them, sometimes for their very lives. When you are in that type of situation you shouldn't have the right to strike. The management and the union should be forced into arbitration instead. When you hold someone's life in your hand, how can you just walk away and leave them to the mercy of whoever might walk into the room in your place? I wouldn't want anyone's health complications on my hands.
