In San Francisco the University of California Medical Center will turn away non emergency cases as a building trades strike enters day 18. About 128 workers have been on strike for 11 days. Thousands of union members were to join the picket line Wednesday and the hospital plans cancellations of 30 to 60 patients daily for the next three days to ensure safety.
