Nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Massachusetts voted to authorize a one-day strike, with 2,798 in favor and 12 against. The Massachusetts Nurses Association stated that this vote allows negotiators to schedule a strike if necessary to secure a fair contract.
The union is fighting for a contract that supports recruitment and retention of nurses to protect patient care. The next bargaining session is set for June 18, and the nurses will provide 10 days’ notice if a strike is scheduled.
