The nurses and hospital workers were calling on ANH to improve pay and invest in ways to recruit and retain frontline staff.

Nurses at West Penn Hospital, who have also authorized a strike, are still negotiating a new contract. SEIU says the negotiations continue on Monday. On Wednesday, the nurses will either approve a new contract or set a strike date.
