Summary
July 8 at 8 a.m., Mass General Brigham Home Care clinicians will begin a seven-day strike after the final bargaining session on June 30 ended without movement from management.
31 negotiation sessions since March 2025 failed to produce a first union contract, with clinicians saying MGB rejected an off-the-record package that included movement on wages and other proposals.
92% of clinicians voted on May 19 to authorize a strike as they pressed for caseload limits, transparent productivity standards and higher pay to address burnout, turnover and recruiting problems.
MGB, which clinicians say has $35.8 billion in assets, reported $2.4 billion in net gains and paid its top 14 executives a combined $35.9 million in fiscal 2024.
Picketing will start at five home-care sites including Beverly, Braintree and Somerville, then shift to MGB headquarters at Assembly Row for days two through seven.
