Connecticut’s long-term care employees threw down the gauntlet earlier this month, threatening to take 3,400 workers out of 33 nursing homes on strike. Governor Ned Lamont’s administration reached an agreement with union leaders and several of the nursing homes operators that includes $267 million in state funds to help pay for wage increases, averting strikes in 26 of the facilities. Strike notices are still pending at other facilities. District 1199 New England, SEIU, is behind the labor action.
Here is the status of eight other strikes or pending strikes initiated during the pandemic, including an update on St. Vincent’s in Massachusetts and two long-running strikes that began in December.
