After a 3-day strike, nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai return to work today. Officials say the nurses and the hospitals reached a tentative agreement overnight.
"Our proposed agreement is similar to those between NYSNA and eight other New York City hospitals. It is fair and responsible, and it puts patients first," Mount Sinai said. JaniceNurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai have reached tentative agreements with the hospital and will return to work Thursday.
Mount Sinai sent out a short statement saying in part, "Our proposed agreement is similar to those between NYSNA and eight other New York City hospitals. It is fair and responsible, and it puts patients first." "This is a historic victory for New York City nurses and for nurses across the country. NYSNA nurses have done the impossible, saving lives night and day, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and now we've again shown that nothing is impossible for nurse heroes. Through our unity and by putting it all on the line, we won enforceable safe staffing ratios at both Montefiore and Mount Sinai where nurses went on strike for patient care," NYSNA President Nancy Hagans said.
