CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. —
WGAL learned Wednesday morning that more than 1,400 nurses and health care workers voted to authorize a strike after eight weeks of intense bargaining with WellSpan Health.
WGAL News 8's Tasmin Mahfuz interviewed Gayle Alleman, a registered nurse and member of the SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania Union, to walk us through what's been happening behind the scenes.
What is the reason for the strike?
