Nurses were ready to return to work after one day of striking, but Ascension isn't letting them back in until July 1.
PUBLISHED 3:35 PM CDT Jun. 29, 2023One day, after the largest nurse’s strike in Texas state history, Ascension Seton nurses like Vanessa Villarreal were ready to return to work.
However, instead of being welcomed back with open arms, health care workers were met by staff and security, informing them they’d have to wait until July 1 to return. “I felt horrible. It’s disgusting that Ascension is doing this to us, retaliating against us for our one-day strike,” Villarreal said. “To bring in random nurses that don’t know the policies, where items are and allowing them to take care of our patients.”
For the hundreds of nurses like Villarreal waiting to return to their true passion, they’re doing what they can in the interim. The union has already filed a ULP, or unfair labor practice, against the provider and will stay on the sidewalk until they can get back to business.
