Brigham and Women's nurses set Oct. 14 strike date

wcvb.com —

Thousands of nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital have scheduled an open-ended strike starting Oct. 14, announced by the Massachusetts Nurses Association on Friday. The 4,000 nurses seek a contract with affordable health insurance, fair pay, and patient care protections. The union provided the legally required 10-day notice, following a one-day strike in July over similar issues. The hospital says it has contingency plans for patient care and remains open to negotiations if the union shows meaningful progress on unresolved matters.
