MNA: Elected Officials, Union Supporters to Rally Friday at MGB Home Care Strike in Somerville as Brigham Nurse Lockout Continues
The 4,000-nurse strike ended Thursday, but MGB kept a four-day lockout in place and said it hired about 1,300 temporary workers.
- Approximately 4,000 Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses ended their one-day strike on Thursday, July 9, 2026, but were immediately locked out by Mass General Brigham for four additional days.
- MGB officials stated the lockout is necessary to honor five-day contracts with nearly 1,300 temporary nurses brought in to maintain hospital operations during the labor action.
- Negotiations remain stalled over compensation, with the union seeking 3 percent and 4 percent raises while the hospital refuses across-the-board increases, citing existing 5 percent annual seniority raises.
- Lead union negotiator Kelly Morgan and other nurses chanted "Let us in" Thursday after being turned away, while tensions flared over a disputed medical emergency outside the facility.
- The lockout is scheduled to end Monday, July 13, at 7 a.m., though MGB Home Care clinicians continue their separate seven-day strike, which concludes Wednesday, July 15.
