reached a last-minute agreement with the union Sunday — as a top doc at another facility warned of a “really bad situation” if staffers walk out.
The chief doctor and his team directed physicians to begin calling patients to prepare them for the possibility of a strike and warned that they may not be able to be present for delivery if they haven’t received credentials for the other hospitals.
