Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.More than 1,000 Brooklyn nurses have voted in favor of going on strike if they are unable to reach an agreement on a new contract, the New York State Nurses Association said on Tuesday.
The contract for nurses at New York Presbyterian-Brooklyn Methodist Hospital ended on April 30 after months of bargaining. Last week, 99.6% of nurses voted to authorize a strike. Nurses say safe staffing levels are the main sticking point in negotiations. They say the hospital has proposed cutting staff levels rather than increasing, which endangers patient care quality.
A hospital spokesperson says they're hopeful to reach a fair and reasonable contract and avoid a strike, but preparations have been made to ensure patient care nonetheless.
