I spoke with 'Lupe' at the Natividad Medical Center pediatrics clinic, several weeks after the end of the strike. Anyone who knows her, knows she is the 'hub of the universe' in her area of Natividad. Lupe said this editorial was very well recieved. Union organizers had photo-copied it and 'passed it around and hung it up,' throughout the county health system's buildings. It is my hope that many strikers realized the delicacy of the situation that required both parties to acknowledge they are both victims of a much greater problem.
Outside opinion is often invalueble.
