The Washington Hospital Center has agreed to recognize the National Nurses United (NNU) as the collective bargaining representative of the hospital’s registered nurses. The NNU has canceled a planned one-day strike originally scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 24, the day before Thanksgiving.

The Hospital Center and NNU have agreed to return to the bargaining table on Nov. 29 under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to continue negotiations over the next 90 days without the threat of a strike.

Last week, some 90 percent of the nurses voted to wage the one-day strike Nov. 24. Last month, the 1,600 registered nurses at WHC voted to join NNU. They had been in the independent organization Nurses United of the National Capital Region.
