Nurses to return to work Friday

Butler-area state Rep. Abby Major, R-60th, showed her support for striking nurses in Armstrong County on Wednesday, a day before the strike wrapped up.

The 220 nurses at ACMH Hospital in Kittanning were on strike from Sunday through Friday morning, after they claim the hospital refused to negotiate a new union contract with them in good faith and address staffing issues.

Throughout the week, they increasingly attracted the support of Pennsylvania politicians, including Major, who pledged her support, and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who spoke at a noon rally Thursday.
