A strike by Temple University nurses and employees continues this morning after the two sides met on Tuesday for the first time since the walk out last week. They’ve been on the lines since March 31 protesting limits on speech, the proposed cut of a college tuition benefit, and a wage increase for nurses of only four percent over three years. The hospital has offered to remove the gag clause if the rest of the contract is accepted. On Tuesday, the striking nurses got support from firefighter, police officers, and Congressman Bob Brady.
