PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Nurses at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital in Olney are one step closer to walking off the job.

The Einstein Nurses United voted Monday to authorize a strike, weeks after nurses hit the picket line.

They have been working without a contract for more than a month.

The nurses’ union says they’re pushing for better working conditions, safer staffing, and better resources to serve the needs of the community.

A date for a possible strike was not released by the union.
