The longest nurses’ strike

<p>On March 8, 2021, protesting dangerous working conditions and staffing ratios, over 700 nurses at St. Vincent Hospital in Massachusetts hit the picket line for what would become the longest nurses’ strike in the state’s history. This is their story. Today’s show is excerpted from an <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akZAtW9njX4'>hourlong video</a> by Gino Canella for TRNN, The Real News Network. These interviews with St. Vincent nurses comprise a ripped-from-the-headlines oral history of a ferocious labor battle that carries lessons for workers everywhere.
