Boston Nurses Stage Largest Strike in Massachusetts History
· Texas Border Business
On Wednesday, over 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston initiated a strike, marking the largest nurses' strike in Massachusetts history and the first at this hospital. The Massachusetts Nurses Association cited stalled contract negotiations with Mass General Brigham, primarily over wages, as the reason for the strike. The hospital has hired around 1,300 temporary nurses to maintain operations during the strike. Although the strike was intended to last one day, the hospital enforced a five-day lockout, complicating the situation. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has called for renewed negotiations with mediators involved.
