Staten Island University Hospital nurses’ strike averted after tentative agreement reached
set to begin on Tuesday at Staten Island University Hospital's north campus has been averted after nurses and hospital leaders reached a tentative agreement on Saturday morning.
“For too long, Staten Island University Hospital nurses have struggled to stay on our island because our pay was so much lower than what we could make for doing the same work in Brooklyn or Manhattan,” said John Vuolo, a nurse at the hospital who is also a member of the New York State Nurses Association’s bargaining committee. “Now that we’ve won pay parity, we can afford to stay here in our community where we want to be, caring for our neighbors. That’s a victory for all of Staten Island.
