Strike at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester continues despite days of negotiations, political heavyweights interjecting and countless threats

The nurses’ strike at Saint Vincent Hospital reached 200 days on Thursday. It’s the latest milestone of a work stoppage that officially began on March 8 with nurses bundled up in frigid temperatures. Summer has come and gone and the work stoppage has become the longest nurses’ strike in the history of the state.

The grievances go back to 2020, though, and have evolved since.
