UPDATE FROM MARQUETTE NURSES (Marquette, MI) The following statement should be attributed to Scott Balko, Operating Room RN and President of the UPHS Marquette RN Staff Council/MNA: No one knows our patients or our community as well as Marquette nurses. From the beginning RNs and community members have called on Duke LifePoint to invest in full-time permanent safe staffing levels. Consistent with correspondence received by nurses from Duke LifePoint, nurses will be prepared to return to work on Saturday at the conclusion of the strike. Nurses thank everyone who turned out to the picket line or otherwise showed solidarity. We have felt so much support from our town, the UP, and across the state during the last forty-eight hours. The strength that our neighbors lent us will be used to continue to advocate for patients over hospital profits. For background information, visit: www.supportUPnurses.org/press-releases ###
