Nurses at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston have voted on Wednesday to authorize a one-day strike. The decision, supported by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, comes in response to concerns over wages, staffing levels, unsafe working conditions, long patient wait times, and under-resourced departments. Thousands of nurses participated in the vote, reflecting widespread dissatisfaction among the hospital staff. The union approves the strike, if it proceeds, to highlight these issues and push for better working conditions and fair compensation.
