Striking nursing home workers reach tentative agreement

Striking Pennsylvania nursing home employees, including those at The Grove at Washington, have reached a tentative agreement with Comprehensive Healthcare and Priority Healthcare, the nurses’ union SEIU Healthcare announced Friday. Hundreds of nursing home workers who spent more than a week on picket lines across the state paused their strike Friday to discuss and vote on ratifying new contracts. Strikes began throughout the state Sept. 2, when nearly 700 nursing home employees walked off the job to fight for better staffing, better wages and better healthcare.
