Nurses' strikes are not common, but they have been happening more and more in recent years. The longest recent strike by nurses took place at Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts, lasting 301 days in 2020-2021[1]. Around 700 nurses went on strike due to chronic staff shortages, which they said threatened patient safety[1]. The sisters tried to resolve the issues through negotiation for 18 months before deciding to go on strike[1]. During the strike, the hospital and its parent company, Tenet Healthcare, attempted to break the strike, including hiring replacement workers and reducing hospital operations[1]. The strike ended in victory for the nurses when Tenet Healthcare agreed to increase the number of employees and return the strikers to their original positions[1].
