Contract Negotiations Continue In Nurses Strike at Worcester's Saint Vincent Hospital

Hundreds of nurses from Worcester's Saint Vincent Hospital have been on strike for 149 days.

The group representing the nurses - the Massachusetts Nurses Association - says it's the longest strike of its kind nationwide in the last decade.

At issue are staffing levels, a particularly sensitive issue for hospitals during a pandemic.

This week, those nurses and their employer, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare, were once again at the negotiation table, but those talks ended without resolution.

We hear how talks are going from Cyrus Moulton, a reporter with the Telegram & Gazette in Worcester and has been covering the strike from the beginning.
