布莱根妇女医院护士递交第四次不当劳工行为指控 罢工进入10天通知期
据护士工会发布的新闻稿，代表布莱根妇女医院约3700名注册护士的马萨诸塞州护士协会10月2日向国家劳资关系委员会递交了针对医院的第四次不当劳工行为指控，同时按法律要求递交了10天罢工通知，罢工最早可于10月14日开始。
工会指控医院方面在合同谈判中存在不诚信谈判行为，包括单方面改变工作条件、拒绝提供谈判所需信息等。双方的新合同谈判已持续一年多，核心分歧集中在人员配备比例、工资涨幅与护士安全等议题。
布莱根妇女医院隶属于 Mass General Brigham 医疗集团，是波士顿地区重要的教学医院。医院方面此前表示，谈判仍在继续，并已制定应急预案，包括调配管理人员与临时护士，以保障患者照护不受影响。
若罢工如期举行，将是布莱根妇女医院近年来规模最大的护士罢工行动。工会表示，递交罢工通知是迫使资方回到谈判桌的必要手段；医院方面则呼吁工会继续谈判，避免罢工影响患者就医。双方是否能在10天内达成协议，将决定罢工是否真正发生。
Brigham Nurses File Fourth Unfair Labor Practice Charge as Strike Enters 10-Day Notice Period
The Massachusetts Nurses Association, representing about 3,700 registered nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital, filed a fourth unfair labor practice charge against the hospital with the National Labor Relations Board on October 2, and delivered the legally required 10-day strike notice — a walkout could begin as early as October 14, according to a union press release.
The union accuses the hospital of bad-faith bargaining, including unilaterally changing working conditions and withholding information needed for negotiations. Contract talks have dragged on for more than a year, with staffing ratios, wage increases, and nurse safety as the core disputes.
Brigham and Women's Hospital, part of Mass General Brigham, is a major Boston teaching hospital. The hospital has said negotiations continue and that contingency plans — including managers and temporary nurses — are in place to protect patient care.
If it goes ahead, the walkout would be the hospital's largest nurses' strike in recent years. The union calls the strike notice a necessary lever to bring management back to the table; the hospital urges continued bargaining to avoid disrupting patient care. Whether the two sides reach a deal within ten days will decide if the strike happens.
