MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – Hundreds of nurses and other workers at McLaren Macomb Hospital walked off the job Monday morning.

Hospital workers, part of OPEIU Local 40, are picketing against McLaren Macomb Medical Center as part of a planned three-day unfair labor practice strike.

Workers walked off the job on Monday, July 7, at 7 a.m. The strike is expected to last until Thursday, July 10, at 6:59 a.m.

“We have been having great difficulty giving quality care; we have great staffing issues to provide that to the community,” said Maria Szejbach, chief steward of OPEIU Local 40. “This is our way of saying enough is enough. We struggle to do our jobs every day, and that is why healthcare is suffering with workers.”
