In this episode, nurses and healthcare advocates Amie Archibald-Varley & Sara Fung discuss the strike of over 7000+ nurses in New York and their victory. The crisis surrounding safe patient-nurse ratios, a larger nursing workforce and low morale is a universal and International nursing issue—should more nurses across the globe go on strike? If so- tell us where and when- we ride at dawn. “Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; But make it hot by striking”~ William Bultler Yeats. “The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress”~ Martin Luther King
