The day prior to the anticipated strike of over 1,300 healthcare workers in southwest Washington, a significant strategic change was made. Instead of engaging in an indefinite walkout, the workers at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver and St. John Medical Center in Longview have opted to abstain from work for a mere five days. This decision was made in order to counteract the threat posed by PeaceHealth management to terminate their health insurance coverage.
