Boston Medical Center (East Newton Campus) Picket
Wednesday, August 20 from 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Directions to BMC

The Boston Medical Center nurses have completed their 20th negotiating session with talks stalling over:  the hospital's demand for unlimited floating between units and campuses, the right to unilaterally cancel shifts and to limit bumping rights following a layoff.  The hospital is also refusing to negotiate a retiree health benefit enjoyed by surrounding MNA hospitals, refuses to agree to "Kentucky River" language to protect nurses' union rights, and is offering a three year contract at 1 percent per year, even though the facility has posted record profits and granted its CEO a 46 percent pay raise.
