No surprise - Providence Journal turns against striking Rhode Island Hospital nurses

As a resident citizen of Rhode Island I greatly appreciate this article and will forward it to my old friend whose registered nurse wife is on that picket line. I will try to join it this afternoon.
" Liberal " Democrat Governor Gina Raimondo , a Hillary pal , could only say : " Let the cooler heads prevail ". You can be sure that she was not talking to Dr. Nicole Alexander Scott, Director of RIDOH .

A letter to the editor in the Providence Journal today ( ON-LINE ) by Christine Jennings of Cranston begins :

"The July 20 news story “As strike looms, planning increases” might give readers the impression that nurses at Rhode Island hospitals care about only themselves. Bolstering this idea, a full page advertisement lists the compensation provided by the hospitals. There is surely more to the story. "


Yes , you can be sure that those striking workers have an old and vicious enemy in the editorial board of the Providence Journal. I recall numerous strikes when the newspaper made itself the official voice of the ruling class of Rhode Island.

 To be sure , they have decimated their own work force in recent years. And there were ugly strikes there in the past.

     The short letter that I sent the PROJO supporting the Rhode Island Hospital nurses is not likely to be published. It would upset the fawned upon " Rhode Island Center for Freedom and Prosperity " - more " socialist propaganda " from an old commie.
