Senator Bernie Sanders urged Mass General Brigham (MGB) to immediately recognize Doctors Council SEIU as the union representing over 230 primary care physicians and begin fair contract negotiations. He criticized MGB for delaying union recognition despite anoverwhelming 88% physician vote in favor. Sanders denounced the hospital's prioritization of profits over patient care and criticized the hospital’s corporate-dominated board. Sanders called it "unconscionable" that a wealthy non-profit health system mistreats its own doctors. He urged MGB to respect the union vote and negotiate a just first contract to support both physicians and patients.
