(Providence, RI) -- Unionized nurses at Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children's Hospital are rejecting a three-year proposed contract. A spokesperson for United Nurses and Allied Professionals Local 5098 said Thursday night that a ten-day strike notice will be issued as a result. But, union officials are calling for Lifespan executives to return to the bargaining table in the meantime. The union represents more than 24-hundred employees.
