Summary
Massachusetts’ biggest nursing strike and lockout in history is ending as nearly 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston return to work Monday. The walkout, sparked by a one-day strike last week, escalated after the hospital extended the action to honor agreements with 1,300 temporary nurses. Nurses held daily pickets, refusing to back down until their demands were met — framing the dispute as a fight for patient well-being versus hospital profits. The hospital, Mass General Brigham, defended its operations, claiming patient care remained unaffected and citing over 20 negotiation sessions, plus a 5% annual raise for two decades. Hospital reps even issued cease-and-desist letters and apologized for the noise, but nurses like Kerry blamed the hospital for escalating tensions. With the strike officially over, the nurses are back inside — bringing a dramatic chapter to a labor battle that shook Boston’s healthcare system.
