Why can't they have more money and maintain benefits?

They can. These hospital systems can both afford to increase pay, maintain benefits and hire more nurses. They choose not to because of pure unchecked corporate greed wherein their boards demand skyrocketing profits year after year. They don't care about quality of service at the top, they care about how many millions of dollars in bonuses they can give themselves while they thank their ICU unit with a pizza party.

Ethics? How ethical is it that the CEOs of the two health care systems in this strike are making millions of dollars in salary annually with bonuses. That's fucking unethical. These health systems have plenty of money to go around to increase worker pay for the people who do care work and hire more of them for safe staffing. They can. They choose not to because of pure top down greed.
