SPOKANE, Wash. — Nurses and healthcare workers at Sacred Heart and Holy Family will announce their plans to strike on Friday, the Washington State Nurses Association said. 

The announcement comes after over a year of negotiations between Sacred Heart nurses and Providence. 

The nurses have been unable to reach a contract with Providence for safe staffing levels, sick leave, competitive compensation and affordable access to health care.
