Key points

More than 4,000 Brigham and Women's Hospital nurses, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, are set to begin an open-ended strike Thursday absent a deal with Mass General Brigham (MGB).
The union had paused its strike plans in mid-October so members could vote on what MGB called its "last, best and final" contract offer. Members rejected the offer. Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu attended the start of Monday's bargaining session, urging both sides to keep talking.
