Nurses employed at four private maternity and other hospitals here are threatening to strike unless their demands for better working conditions are met.
Although recent arbitration resulted in agreement on a number of points, the directors of the hospitals refused to yield on questions of regulating dismissals and other personal status. A request by the nurses and female attendants that arbitration be resorted to on these points was rejected, and three nurses were dismissed. An ultimatum asks that unless these three are reinstated and arbitration accepted, a strike in all four hospitals will be declared.
