WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Striking nurses from a Massachusetts hospital will resume talks Thursday with management in the hopes of ending the work stoppage.

A federal mediator working on negotiations scheduled two days of face-to-face discussions at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester.

Nurses at St. Vincent went on strike March 8 demanding better staffing ratios, which they said is necessary to ensure patient safety.

The strike is now the nation’s longest nurses’ strike in more than a decade, according to the Massachusetts Nurses Association.
