WORCESTER Members of the Massachusetts Building Trades Council marched in support of striking St. Vincent Hospital nurses Wednesday afternoon, with union leadership encouraging members to boycott the hospital until the strike is resolved.
“Due to St. Vincent and (hospital owner) Tenet Health’s uncompromising stance against their nurses arguing for patient safety we cannot in good conscience send our members and their families there for medical care,” MBTC President Francis X. Callahan wrote in a letter to St. Vincent CEO Carolyn Jackson. “Until you resolve your contract negotiations with the Massachusetts Nurses Association (nurses’ union) in a manner that addresses the issue of patient safety to the nurses’ satisfaction, we will encourage our members to seek their healthcare needs elsewhere.”
