Nurses made substantial changes in their proposals to reach a fair contract; Mass General Brigham made $2.3 billion in profits last year and paid its CEO $9.2 million

BOSTON, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) nurses entered negotiations on Thursday, October 8 prepared to compromise and hopeful they could reach a fair contract before their scheduled October 14 open-ended strike. As proposals went back and forth during more than 11 hours of talks, nurses believed they were making progress toward an agreement.

But Mass General Brigham (MGB) stopped making meaningful movement and ultimately refused to continue discussions, leaving a deal out of reach despite nurses' substantial compromises. Nurses offered to continue negotiating on Friday and any time or day before the strike. MGB declined to meet Friday unless nurses agreed to their last proposal. We offered to meet any day and time before the strike.

Brigham nurses, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA), made multiple counterproposals addressing management's concerns and significantly modifying their own positions. Nurses remained focused on finding common ground to protect patient care, strengthen the permanent nursing workforce and provide competitive wages and affordable health insurance with meaningful choice.

"The issues MGB raised over the last year during negotiations have not fallen on deaf ears. We came to the table ready to make a deal, and as we went back and forth, we believed we were making real progress," said Kelly Morgan, RN, a labor and delivery nurse and Chair of the BWH MNA Bargaining Committee. "We listened to MGB's concerns and made substantial compromises because we want to be inside the Brigham caring for our patients. We were ready to keep working toward an agreement, but MGB stopped moving and ended the talks."

To reach a fair agreement and avert a strike, nurses:

- Withdrew proposals on on-call compensation and severance pay.

- Significantly reduced their wage proposal.

- Extended the proposed contract term from 18 months to two and a half years.

- Reduced the proposed float differential and narrowed which nurses would qualify.

- Increased the proposed limit on temporary traveler nurses from 10% to 15% per hospital unit.

- Moved toward management's position on health insurance by accepting an increased employee contribution for new hires working 40 hours per week.

Despite these substantial compromises by nurses, MGB did not make meaningful movement.

Nurses are willing to negotiate further to avert the strike. If the strike is held, it will continue until Brigham nurses reach a fair contract agreement with MGB and resolve their Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) charges. This is a ULP strike as Brigham nurses have filed multiple ULPs against the hospital since July. ULP strikes offer greater protection for striking workers, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

- Nurses filed a ULP against BWH for illegally preventing neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses from exercising their federally protected right to participate in the Brigham nurses' strike on July 8, 2026.

- Nurses filed a ULP against BWH for illegally retaliating against nurses for exercising their federally protected right to participate in the July strike by changing their schedules.

- Nurses filed a ULP against BWH for threatening disciplinary action against nurses if they did not remove their union buttons.

Brigham Nurses Are Fighting For

- A strong permanent nursing workforce. Nurses are seeking limits on MGB's reliance on temporary nurses to support continuity and quality of care for Brigham patients.

- Affordable health insurance and meaningful plan choice. MGB has proposed increasing nurses' health insurance costs. Nurses want coverage they and their families can afford and choice between insurance plans.

- Fair compensation. Nurses are seeking a meaningful cost-of-living wage increase and a differential for nurses required to float among units.

- Economic data showing that from 2020 to 2024, the income needed to maintain a middle-class standard of living for family in Massachusetts jumped nearly 50 percent, according to the MassINC Policy Center.

- Inflation in Massachusetts has remained high since 2024, according to a recent report.

- Brigham nurses are seeking wages aligned with the Boston hospital market across their entire wage scale. Tufts Medical Center and Boston Medical Center historically paid nurses less than Brigham and Women's Hospital. Recent contract settlements at those hospitals have changed that relationship, with nurses at many comparable points on their wage scales now earning more than their Brigham counterparts, according to the MNA's wage comparisons.

MGB Has Billions but Refuses to Agree to Fair Contracts

Mass General Brigham is the largest and wealthiest health system in New England. In fiscal year 2025, MGB reported:

- $22.8 billion in operating revenue.

- $2.39 billion in profits.

- $1.75 billion in investment income.

- $35.8 billion in total assets.

- Nearly $9.2 million in compensation for CEO Anne Klibanski, which is a 9% increase of approximately $800,000 in one year.

MGB's Board of Directors includes billionaires, private equity executives and corporate CEOs, including individuals whose businesses intersect with the healthcare system. Read the MNA's report on MGB's wealth, power, and board conflicts. Should MGB be a non-profit?

- Scott Sperling, MGB Board Chair, is co-CEO of private equity giant THL Partners, which invests heavily in healthcare and technology.

- John Fish, Board Vice Chair, leads Suffolk Construction, which has received major MGB-related construction work, including MGB's $465 million headquarters.

- Jonathan Kraft, Board Vice Chair, oversees the Kraft family's multibillion-dollar business empire, including property at Patriot Place leased to MGB.

MGB's enormous financial resources make clear that it can afford fair contracts that protect patients, maintain stable workforces and respect the professionals who deliver care.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Moore Law, PLLC, a shareholder litigation law firm located on Wall Street, is investigating potential claims against:

- DICK's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) shareholders since November 12, 2024 should email [email protected] or see www.fmoorelaw.com

The allegations involve the Company's acquisition of Foot Locker, touting the acquisition as a strategic opportunity to drive growth and profitability while assuring investors that Foot Locker's longstanding inventory and promotional challenges had been resolved. However those problems may have persisted, as Foot Locker remained heavily dependent on legacy footwear products that were exposed to intensifying promotional pressures across the athletic footwear industry.

The truth was allegedly revealed to investors before markets opened on August 25, 2026, when Dick's Sporting Goods reported disappointing second-quarter 2026 results, which included revenue of $1.73 billion from Foot Locker that fell well short of analysts' estimates of $1.81 billion. Dick's Sporting Goods also reduced its net sales guidance for full-year 2026 and disclosed that it expected Foot Locker's proforma comparable sales to yield a range of negative 2.0% to 0.0% for the year—down from Dick's prior forecast of 1.5% to 3% growth.

On this news, the price of Dick's Sporting Goods stock fell $55.02 per share, or 30.68%, to close at $124.31 per share on August 25, 2026.

If you own stock in DICK's Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS), please contact Fletcher Moore by email at [email protected] or (212) 709-8245.

What to do next: To join the Webull class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/webull-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 7, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Webull's mainland China operations were not limited to research and development and technical support functions, but rather Webull's software development, data pipelines, and core engineering depended on PRC-based personnel and on infrastructure subject to Chinese law; (2) Webull's ownership structure, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, financing, and compliance structure were structurally tied to China; (3) as a result, Webull's representations that its principal business operations were based in the U.S. and that its U.S. customer data was insulated from non-U.S. access materially overstated Webull's independence from the PRC; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Webull's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

PASADENA, Calif., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Most law firms show you a lobby and a conference table. D.Law is showing you the whole building.

Today D.Law, the California employment firm that fights for workers, launched Our Space, a new page on www.d.law that opens up its Pasadena headquarters to anyone curious about where — and how — the firm works. The page features 40 professional architectural photographs captured over two days, including aerial drone shots, wide panoramas of the open floors, and the signature spiral staircase at the heart of the office.

But the page isn't a real-estate listing. Alongside the architecture are candid moments of the people who fill it: a hallway catch-up, a quick conversation between floors, a team heading downstairs. The message is simple: the space and the people are one story.

"I designed this building around one idea: people do their best work when they feel like they belong somewhere. The open floors, the staircase, the natural light all exist to bring the team together. Seeing it captured this way, with the team moving through it, is exactly how it was meant to be lived in," said Rick Corsini, the architect who designed D.Law's headquarters.

"Every day, we tell clients they deserve a workplace that respects them. This office is us holding ourselves to that same standard. When candidates ask what it's like to work here, we can finally just send them a link," said Edgar Davtyan, Head of Strategy and Growth at D.Law.

The launch builds on a run of recognition for D.Law's culture. The firm was named to Inc.'s Best Workplaces list in both 2025 and 2026, ranked #1 Best Place to Work in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2023, and named a Top Law Firm by the LA Times in 2026.

Our Space sits in the "Join Us" section of www.d.law, next to the firm's Careers, Summer Associate, High School Internship and Paralegal Training programs. For attorneys, paralegals and staff weighing their next move, it offers something a job listing can't: a look at the place they'd walk into every morning.

Take the tour at d.law/our-space.
