## Resource

Massachusetts’ biggest nurses strike in history is ending as over 4,000 healthcare workers return to Brigham and Women’s Hospital after days of protest. Despite the hospital deploying 1,300 temp nurses to maintain care, striking nurses argue patient safety is compromised. They walked out to demand better wages and lower insurance costs, saying experienced staff can’t be replaced. The hospital issued a cease-and-desist, calling protests disruptive, but the union insists their mission was always patient care. Negotiations stalled, and public health officials will monitor the return to ensure patient safety remains top priority.
