RICHLAND, Wash. - Kadlec nurses have voted to potentially go on strike, and the matter will now go up to the union's cabinet where an official decision will be made.

More than 900 nurses spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday casting votes on whether or not to strike. Polls closed at 10 p.m. and were counted immediately after.

The decision comes after the Washington State Nurses Association and Kadlec have been negotiating for a new contract for over a year now.
