Nurses at two Suffolk hospitals have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike.
Registered nurses at St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown and St. Charles in Port Jefferson are working without a new contract.
The nurses are calling for "adequate staffing" and "adequate health benefits and pay."
Even though they've now authorized strikes, negotiations continue.
And there is no date set for walkouts at either hospital.
