Nurses' Strike At Saint Vincent Hospital Becomes 2nd-Longest In State History
WORCESTER (CBS) -- The nurses' strike at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester has become the second-longest in state history. Sunday was the 105th day of the strike.
Nurses have been striking over staffing levels and pay.
The longest nursing strike in Massachusetts lasted six months back in 2001.
Dueling press releases from the nurses' union and Tenet Healthcare, the hospital's owner, blame each other for prolonging the strike.
The hospital said 200 nurses have crossed the picket line and returned to work.
