Nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital have announced an open-ended strike to begin on November 12th. This action is expected to be the largest nurses' strike in state history, involving approximately 4,000 union nurses. Key issues in the contract dispute include pay raises, limitations on temporary workers, and affordable health insurance. The hospital and the Massachusetts Nurses Association are scheduled to resume negotiations on November 9th. This potential strike occurs amidst broader financial challenges and layoffs within the Mass General Brigham health system.
