Many say they are fighting for more than just a pay increase. Our steve keeley there at drexel hill with the very latest this morning, steve. Reporter well, vampires only out at night, striking nurse is apparently only out in the day light. That is why you do not see a picket line. They promise to be back out within a half an hour. Lets show you video of yesterdays picketing as we talked about this. 370 nurses and xray and radiology technicians walked out a planned two day strike protest because they say they were getting no where in contract talks despite 21 meetings and having a federal mediator on top of that. Since new owners from california took over this place in july. This will now be a five day walk out because new owners had to get temporary staffing that requires a minimum five day hiring job. So that one and a half milliondollar speak authenticity she dont want to throw away so these folks out, for two days will be out five days. The agreements and dis agreements are so wide, that they cannot even, disagree or agree or what they disagree on. Because people on strike say hey there is not enough nurse necessary this place for all of the patients. Well, the hospital quote that the union is doing their best to make this dispute about staffing but it is their quote unwillingness to accept reasonable increaseness benefits and salary that is causing a big stall in the contract talks. That tells you they cannot agree on what they disagree on it doesnt seem like they will get any closer with this strike probably making both side hardened even before this thing happened, guys. We will see what the day brings, all right, steve keeley, thank you. One young man is dead and another is recovering after a shooting in southwest philadelphia.
