“Thousands of nurses are hitting the picket lines in what will be the largest nurses strike in the history of New York City. The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) on Monday announced that nearly 15,000 nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are going on strike after ’greedy hospital management at these wealthy private hospitals have given frontline nurses no other choice.’ The NYSNA posted a long list of sticking points on contract negotiations, including ‘“safe staffing for our patients, protections from workplace violence, and healthcare for frontline nurses.’ NYSNA president Nancy Hagans said that any patients in need of care at these hospitals should enter them, emphasizing that ‘going into the hospital to get the care you need is not crossing our strike line.'” (01/12/25)
