One-day nurse strikes effective in California
Nurses Jandee Meister, Sara Racine and Sheryl West all waited for a charter bus outside the RiverCentre convention center in downtown St. Paul this morning after casting their ballots in a potential strike vote by Twin Cities nurses. All three work at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale.

About 12,000 Twin Cities nurses are voting today on whether to authorize a strike. If approved, the strike against 13 metro-area hospitals could begin no sooner than June 1, and it would last only one day.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Victoria Colliver who's covered many such labor actions as a health care reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle.
