PUYALLUP, Wash. — MultiCare Good Samaritan nurses represented by the Washington State Nurses Association have reached a tentative agreement with the hospital.

The agreement came after more than 20 hours the bargaining, in the early hours of Thursday morning.

“We started yesterday morning at 8:30 and we didn’t finish till about 5 a.m. this morning,” MultiCare local bargaining co-chair Jared Richardson RN said.

The tentative agreement comes after 95% of MultiCare nurses voted to strike Wednesday night.
