Boston: Council Supports Nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Contract Negotiations

TelAve News/10895089
~ In a show of solidarity and support, Councilors Flynn, Durkan, and Worrell have introduced a resolution backing the nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The resolution, which was offered during a council meeting on Tuesday, recognizes the invaluable contributions of over 4,000 nurses and nurse practitioners at the hospital.

These healthcare professionals are responsible for providing top-notch care to patients not only in Boston but also across New England. They play a crucial role in maintaining Brigham and Women's Hospital's reputation as one of the leading healthcare institutions in the region.

The resolution highlights that members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association at Brigham and Women's Hospital have been engaged in contract negotiations since October 2025. Their primary demands include fair wages, affordable healthcare, and safe working conditions. However, current management proposals fall short of meeting these demands as they offer no wage increase for most nurses and nurse practitioners while also proposing an increase in healthcare premium costs.
