CA nurses' union pulls Ebola into contract talks

The powerful California Nurses Association has put Ebola on the bargaining table in its negotiations for a new contract with Kaiser Permanente. Contract talks have been going on for months and the nurses' most recent demands are all about Ebola — better training, more staffing, protective gear that goes beyond what's recommended by federal officials and even a special life insurance policy. "We'd like to have an extra supplemental coverage, for specifically Ebola, if we were to contract Ebola while we're at work," says Diane McClure, a nurse at Kaiser Permanente's hospital in Sacramento, where a patient suspected of having Ebola was treated in August. He later tested negative for the virus.
