A strike involving over 7,000 nurses comes to an end after union reaches a tentative deal with two private New York City hospitals
The New York State Nurses Association union reached tentative deals with Mount Sinai Health System and Montefiore Health System. The nurses had been arguing that immense staffing shortages have caused widespread burnout, hindering their ability to properly care for their patients. Terms of the agreement were not immediately available, and nurses will need to vote to approve the deal before it is finalized.
Thursday, and all surgeries and procedures and outpatient appointments for Thursday and after will proceed as scheduled. “From the outset, we came to the table committed to bargaining in good faith and addressing the issues that were priorities for our nursing staff,” Montefiore said in a statement. “We know this strike impacted everyone – not just our nurses – and we were committed to coming to a resolution as soon as possible to minimize disruption to patient care.
