Nurses' Union Details Labor Dispute: 60,000 Nurses Cite Workload and Burnout

The Israeli Nurses' Union detailed its labor dispute declaration on Thursday, stating it covers 60,000 nurses across hospitals, clinics, and Mother and Child Health Centers due to increasing workloads, physical and mental burnout, and state neglect, according to N12.

The declaration, which is a procedural step toward a potential strike, covers nurses in hospitals, clinics, and Tipat Halav (Mother and Child Health Centers). The union cited growing workloads, physical and mental burnout, and the state's failure to improve conditions as reasons. The union has previously raised concerns about staffing shortages, and this formalizes the dispute.
