CNA Lifts Strike Ban/AARN Abandons No Strike Position
The CNA lifted its official ban against nurses’ strikes.
The AARN voted to abandon the AARN-AHA agreement that nurses would not use strike action. The AHA countered with a threat to return to bargaining on an individual hospital basis. In 1974, a new procedural agreement was reached wherein the parties agreed that either could reject the outcomes of bargaining or conciliation, and be free to use whatever sanctions were allowed in legislation.
