Leaders of California's nurses union said that their members will respect a judge's order that bars them from striking at University of California hospitals. At the same time, the union plans to rally at the hospitals and student health centers, as well as two private facilities in the Los Angeles area. The nurses' plan to strike came months after contract negotiations broke down last year over their demand that hospital officials increase staffing at the five hospitals and four student centers.
