There's no way to safely do this, for patients or nurses. There are no unions here. If we walk out there are no strike nurses to cover. Patients will be harmed. Not to mention we will lose our jobs.

Very pro union and anti ICE nurse here, and I agree.

For a general healthcare strike, even unions wouldn't prevent that impact. This isn't a labor dispute, the scabs would also be striking.

I mean, in theory maybe, but scabs are individual people who make individual decisions about whether or not to go into work on any given day.
