BREAKING Nurses at 2 NYC hospitals on strike after negotiations fail
Nurses at two New York City hospitals are on strike after last-minute negotiations failed, the New York State Nurses Association announced early Monday.
They're fighting for better pay and staffing and if no agreement is reached by 6 a.m. Monday, 7,100 nurses will go on strike. On Sunday night, Governor Hochul called for binding arbitration to eliminate the treat of a strike.The statement said in part, "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Our bosses created the understaffing classes by failing to hire and retain enough nurses out of facilities, leaving the rest of us to work short staffed. Hospitals haven't done enough to keep nurses at the bedside," Hagans said.
On Sunday, Mount Sinai agreed to come back to the conversation with the NYSNA nurses. Representatives of the hospital walked out of a negotiation session earlier this week as the potential strike grew closer. Mount Sinai has offered its nurses 18% wage increases over the next three years, according to an internal memo shared Thursday night. The increases would be 7%, 6%, and 5% over the next three years, which year to year compounds to 19.1%.
