Nurses & Musicians Hit Streets

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Area nurses and musicians are hitting the streets in the metro area this week in two separate actions. Washington Hospital Center nurses will hold an informational picket at WHC owner Medstar's Franklin Square Hospital Center at 10A today in Baltimore. The nurses want MedStar to “stop their assault on patient care at our hospital,” reports National Nurses United’s Stephen Frum (r). The WHC imposed their contract on nurses last month. Then on Thursday at 3P, responding to the Washington Ballet’s decision to cut live music from its flagship annual holiday production of "The Nutcracker," musicians will hold a rally and mini-concert at The Washington Ballet on Wisconsin Avenue, NW.
