Boston Nurses Stage Largest Strike in Massachusetts History
· Texas Border Business
Over 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston initiated a strike on Wednesday, marking the largest nurses' strike in Massachusetts history and the first at this hospital. The Massachusetts Nurses Association attributed the strike to failed contract negotiations, primarily over wages, as nurses face rising living costs. The hospital hired around 1,300 temporary nurses to maintain operations during the strike, which was initially planned for one day but extended to a five-day lockout by the hospital. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has called for renewed negotiations, which are ongoing with mediators.
