Statement from Speaker Shekarchi on the strike at Butler Hospital
|
STATE HOUSE – Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi issued the following statement today regarding the strike at Butler Hospital:
“Having access to the critical high-quality mental health services provided at Butler Hospital is vital to so many struggling Rhode Islanders, as well as those who love them. I am calling on both the management of Butler Hospital and health care workers represented by SEIU 1199 New England to get back to the bargaining table to negotiate in good faith and come up with a fair deal. Patients, family, friends and neighbors in every Rhode Island community are being impacted by the ongoing strike at Butler Hospital. My hope is that management and the union at Butler Hospital reach a fair deal in the very near future.”
