CHICAGO (CBS) -- Hundreds of nurses at a hospital in Joliet could be walking off the job again next week.
The 500 union nurses at Ascension Saint Joseph in Joliet notified the hospital on Monday they plan to walk off the job for two days on Feb. 8 and 9.
The same nurses also went on strike twice last year – in August and November – amid a contract standoff with management.
The nurses also said they are striking over "mounting chaos and divestment at the hospital."
"Patients have reported flooding, infestations of cockroaches and ceilings caving in," the union said in a statement. "Nurses say the hospital's scheduling systems were not prepared for the implementation of new policies and there is uncertainty about expectations and pay."
