Healthcare Workforce

Wayne, N.J. – November 10, 2026 -- Forty-five technologists and technologist aides at ImageCare in Sussex County, N.J., have gone on strike after nearly two years without a first union contract, Teamsters Local 125 said.

Workers Cite Wages and Health Care Costs as Core Demands

The workers voted to join the Teamsters almost two years ago. They are seeking better wages and affordable health care in a first agreement.

Local 125 President Paxton Ryan accused the company of bad-faith bargaining and of refusing to offer a contract that recognizes members' worth. He said the union will stand firm until ImageCare addresses workers' concerns.

Boston – October 02, 2026 -- Some 4,000 nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital will launch an open-ended strike at 7 a.m. on October 14, 2026, in what the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA) calls the largest open-ended nurse strike in state history, unless Mass General Brigham (MGB) agrees to a new contract.

Nurses authorized the strike by a record 2,986-to-215 vote on September 24

The tally marks the highest yes-vote total for any nurse strike authorization in Massachusetts history, according to the MNA. The vote came as state data confirmed MGB posted a total margin of $2.3 billion, making it the most profitable hospital system in the Commonwealth for a second consecutive period.
