Tufts Nurses Strike After Breakdown In Contract Negotiations
Play
More than 1,200 nurses at Tufts Medical Center walked out Wednesday morning for a one-day strike after more than a year of stalled contract talks.
It's the first time nurses in Boston have gone in strike in more than 30 years.
The main sticking points: staffing levels, pay and benefits.
Hospital administrators said they will lock out those on strike for four additional days and have brought in temporary nurses to fill the void.
