CHICAGO (CBS) -- Striking Loretto Hospital workers were on the picket line for a 10th day in a row on Friday.

Approximately 200 hospital employees have said they're striking for safe staffing and livable pay.

The workers, represented by SEIU Healthcare, held a vigil Friday morning with faith and community leaders. They're calling on the hospital to settle a fair contract.
