Brigham and Women's Faulkner nurses to picket amid contract negotiations

Nurses at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital in Boston plan to picket Friday.

The nurses, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, are negotiating a new contract.

Union officials said there has been some progress in negotiations, but wages, security, benefits and staffing remain sticking points, according to a Boston Business Journal report.

The picket is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Nurses who are not scheduled to work are slated to participate.

Hospital officials do not expect the picket to affect operations and are optimistic that an agreement can be reached, according to the report.
