BREAKING: MGB Housestaff United filed an unfair labor practice charge Friday alleging Mass General Brigham retaliated against them for unionizing by removing long-standing departmental benefits. The latest in The Harvard Crimson :

Disappointed that Mass General Brigham has failed to complete, let alone respond to our union’s request for information (RFI). With solicitation policies barring work emails as an option, this request is the main way to reach our unit. MGB Housestaff United

Fortunately this decision does not apply to our essential work in advancing diversity amongst our residents, fellows, and faculty. We will continue and redouble our efforts Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents Brigham and Women's Hospital MGB Housestaff United

Our brilliant Max Jordan Nguemeni strikes again 😉

A must and quick read!

MansGreatestBospital MGB before the election: “we support you no matter what you choose”
MGB 5 minutes after union approved: “we’re disappointed by this outcome”

A striking pattern of diction in emails from the C-suite continued yesterday after the ballot count.

Language used: comply, disappointed

Language not used: respect

Sam Shepherd Mass General Brigham MGB Housestaff United My hopes would be:
1) increased wages and/or moonlighting opportunities.
2) childcare options that reflect complicated schedules trainees have.
3) all trainees get MGB PCPs if they want them.
4) way to file grievances that are actually anonymous and investigated.

Max Jordan Nguemeni CIR/SEIU MGB Housestaff United As a proud former member of CIR (at what was Boston City Hospital), I know that this will benefit housestaff and patients. (The hospital too, but it just doesn't know it yet). Congrats on your hard work and well deserved victory.

For Boston to be a strong & growing home for working families, we need a strong & growing labor movement.

Congrats to the MGB Housestaff United CIR/SEIU interns, residents & fellows on their hard-won victory for voice & dignity on the job.

Double woo-hoo! Congratulations to the over 2,000 residents and fellows at MGB Housestaff United for winning their union. These frontline workers deserve to organize for better wages, working conditions, and benefits.
