Back in the United States, 15,000 nurses in Minnesota have launched a three-day strike demanding wage increases, better patient care and relief from staffing shortages. The Minnesota Nurses Association says it’s the largest private sector nurses’ strike in U.S. history. Meanwhile, some 2,000 therapists, psychologists, social workers and counselors at Kaiser Permanente clinics in California and Hawaii have entered the second month of a strike demanding better care for mental health patients.
