Brigham and Women’s nurses reject hospital’s contract offer

BOSTON — Thousands of nurses at Brigham and Women’s rejected the hospital’s “best and final” contract offer, according to the Massachusetts Nurses Association.

“Although we are disappointed by the outcome, our priority and focus remain on providing safe, high-quality patient care. Brigham and Women’s Hospital is prepared to maintain uninterrupted care and respond to any steps the union may take,” MNA said.

Mass General Brigham has said that “its final proposal reflects the value our nurses bring to patient care while balancing our responsibility to patients, our workforce, and the long-term strength of the hospital.”
