Charleston County Hospital refuses to rehire striking workers
The Charleston County Council declined to rehire all striking employees in the County Hospital during a day of talks, blocking settlement. It offered to rehire 35 workers immediately and find other positions for the rest, while aiming for Monday follow up and Sunday contacts. The dispute centers on rehiring as the sole sticking point, mirroring terms at the Medical College of South Carolina Hospital. Rev. Andrew Young noted workers would stay out until the County Hospital strike is settled.
