Checking both my e-mail and the San Diego Union Tribune this morning, I see an agreement has been reached between SPNN/UNAC and Sharp. This means there will be no strike.

Earlier in the week, an e-mail was sent out by Mike Murphy, the President and CEO of Sharp HealthCare. While I hope my employer is very open about the contents of these e-mails being seen by those outside Sharp, I carefully pick and choose what I take from the e-mails when posting them. I stick to things which have been said by the media, as well as things related to Sharp policies.

According to Human Resources, on Thursday, July 5th, the Union gave Sharp HealthCare its 10-day Strike Notice. There will be a three-day strike, covering all of Sharp’s hospitals, facilities, and services employing Bargaining Unit nurses. The strike is to take place from the morning of Monday, July 16th, to the evening of Wednesday, July 18th. Keep in mind, because Sharp must hire temporary nurses for a minimum of five days, and nurses who go on strike cannot return to work until Monday the 23rd.
