WORCESTER (CBS) - Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester says it has made a final attempt to end the longest nurses strike in state history.
The hospital said Friday it is implementing it's "last, best and final offer" to the nurses for a new contract.
A hospital spokesperson said the offer includes "extensive investments" in nurse staffing, added workplace safety measures and raises of up to 35 percent for some nurses.
