Nurses and management at a Massachusetts hospital are scheduled to head back to the negotiating table on Monday in an effort to end a nearly two-month strike stemming from a dispute over staffing levels.
Negotiations between nurses at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester and the hospital s owner, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare, will resume at 3 p.m. The bargaining session was set up by a federal mediator.
St. Vincent nurses say they are required to care for five patients at a time, a difficult task with COVID-19 precautions and care requirements, while other hospitals have a limit of four patients per nurse.
If we re making some headway, we will go around the clock, he said.
Rhiana Sherwood, a spokesperson for the hospital, said there s no time frame for the session and she wasn t aware of what Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare, which owns St. Vincent, might offer. The bottom line is there s always hope, Sherwood said.
St. Vincent CEO Carolyn Jackson said recently that Tenet has been ready to resume negotiations since April 7 in an effort to end the strike, which sent about 600 of the facility s 800 nurses to the picket line.
Since the strike started on March 8, replacement nurses have been assisting the nurses who crossed the picket line with patient care.
