Some 10,000 registered nurses at 10 University of California (UC) medical centers will vote starting today on a new contract reached after months of stalemate with the university. But another nearly 20,000 patient care and service workers at the medical centers remain without a deal.
The nurses, members of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC), began negotiations in April 2007. After reaching an impasse in October, they entered mediation and resumed talks with the university March 13.
