Nurses in Butler County will be picketing Monday, adding their voices to a growing call for change when it comes to violence against healthcare workers.
Workers will be doing informational picketing on Monday as they call for Independence Health System to increase safety measures, including having metal detectors at all of the entrances to Butler Memorial.
The nurses' union says there's only one at the emergency room, leaving two other entrances unguarded.
A spokesperson for the union says there has been an increase in violent incidents inside the hospital, including earlier this month when a nursing assistant had her teeth knocked out while on the job.
