MNA: Brigham Nurses Seek Compromise to Avert Strike While Protecting Patient Care Quality; MGB Makes Minimal Movement and Ends Talks
Nurses say they made substantial concessions, but MGB ended talks after 11 hours and refused further bargaining unless workers accepted its last offer.
- On Thursday, October 8, negotiations between Brigham and Women's Hospital and Mass General Brigham stalled, leaving an open-ended strike scheduled for Wednesday, October 14.
- After an 11-hour bargaining session, MGB halted discussions despite nurses, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association , making substantial compromises including reduced wage proposals and extended contract terms.
- Mass General Brigham reported $2.3 billion in profits last year and nearly $9.2 million in compensation for CEO Anne Klibanski, while nurses seek wages aligned with the Boston hospital market.
- Management declined to meet Friday unless nurses accepted their final proposal, though the Massachusetts Nurses Association remains willing to negotiate further to avert the strike.
- The planned action is an Unfair Labor Practice strike, which provides workers greater legal protection, while nurses advocate for stable staffing and affordable health insurance coverage.
