- The 4,000 BWH nurses ended their one-day strike Thursday morning; after MGB’s four-day lockout, they are expected back July 13 at 7 a.m.
- The 450 MGB Home Care clinicians called a seven-day strike scheduled to last through July 15 at 8 a.m.
- MGB replaced union members at BMC with nearly 1,300 agency nurses and in home care with over 175 clinicians.
- MGB said picketing nurses interfered with emergency response; the MNA said no one inside the hospital responded and nurses brought the patient in.
“We have told everyone including the Governor, Mayor and MGB that we are ready to negotiate and compromise to resolve the Brigham lockout and MGB Home Care strike. We are waiting for MGB to respond.”— Joe Markman, spokesperson for the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA), said this amid the ongoing labor dispute.
