As promised, nurses who were on strike yesterday showed up for work at Ascension Seton Medical Center this morning, but security stopped them at the door.
“As of right now, you’re not authorized to work, so y’all are going to have to leave,” a security guard said. @KUT

I can't wait for my husband to come home from work and ask me what I did today... I spent 8 hrs on Ticketmaster getting Taylor Swift tickets (and nothing else but stressin). That's what.
