Ashtabula Nurses' Strike (continued from page 3)

ing must be resolved and the hospital stands ready to ment, McClintock asserted. “It will be a challenge. meet with ONA?! but everyone will be up for the challenge? ¿ About 100-of the-170 nurses who walked out last, July are still on strike. Forty-eight have crossed-thepicket line. The rest have either resigned or retired of plan to. A majority of the striking nurses are working elsewhere. "Most don't like these jobs, but they've helped," said Runyan, explaining that the options are working in area nursing homes or travelling 58 miles to work in Cleveland hospitals..

However, the hospital administration and striking murses have come to an agreement on one issue. McClintock (AGH) used "lethargic" and Runyar (AGNA), "apathetic", but both were describing the community's response to the 14-month long strike. McClintock mentioned letters to the editor and to the hospital, and then said, "I had expected the community to act". Runyan, commented: "Our come munity seems satisfied with a 90-bed hospital with inadequate services. But the community is under pressure too. For example, local people have told us that their private physicians have said 'go. there (AGH) or get another doctor'. And doctors, the majority, don't oppose us, are also under pressure. Hospital administration by-laws state that physicians' privileges are granted or denied at the administration's discretion. So community people may say 'we' support you nurses, but they don't do anything about it." *

"If you'd asked me that (when the strike-wouldend) a year ago, I'd have said, 'in a week or so', but now", said McClintock, "I just don't know. When it happens, it will happen." She cited the recent appointment of Emilie Unrich as assistant administrator as a positive step for the hospital. Hopeful that Unrich will be able to ease the transition when the striking nurses return after the settle-

"We ask if they're working they help out. We've paid. nurses' health insurance and other bills they might have until they can get new jobs." Commenting that the AGNA nurses have held all sorts of fundraisers, and that more are planned, Runyan said that, as of May, they had raised over $18,000 to support the strike and the strikers.

Runyan-added: "We care about each other. We've become a real close-knit group. Nobody's crossed the line since the beginning of April. We picket 24-hours. a day and have since the beginning of the strike. We do have a little trouble keeping the picket line going. It's pretty hard to maintain 24-hour picketing and <have another job and a family; But as long as these. nurses hang together like they have...".

"We're not out just for money or improving benefits, we're out to get that first contract, we're out to say that nurses have a right, even as professionals, to have a say-so in our work situation.'
