Sparrow Hospital nurses approve new contract

Nurses at Lansing's Sparrow Hospital overwhelmingly approved a new contract with the hospital.

The contract approved Tuesday came after a sometimes contentious negotiations between the two sides.

"There was a very diverse opinion about the details of the contract about what was good and what was bad," says Robert Kolt, a spokesman for the nurses union, "They had to agree...that patient safety was a top priority."

The contract contains a modest wage increase for the nurses and other support staff.
