Some hospitals were able to reach an agreement with the state nurses association over the weekend, two hospitals remain without a deal. Montefiore and Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan have been unable to reach a deal despite months of negotiations.In a statement to News 12, Montefiore said the nurses' union turned down their deal, which offered to raise nurses’ wages and create 170 new nursing positions.
The State Nurses Association has demanded that city hospitals hire and keep more nurses. Nurses told News 12 staffing shortages leave the employees overworked and the patients in danger. So far, seven hospitals have reached tentative agreements including BronxCare, Maimonides, and Mount Sinai Morningside and West.
Mount Sinai released a statement saying in part, "NYSNA continues its reckless behavior, rejecting Governor Hochul’s proposal for binding arbitration. NYSNA leadership walked out of negotiations shortly after 1 a.m. Monday morning. They refused to accept the exact same 19.1% increased wage offer agreed to by eight other hospitals, including two other Mount Sinai Health System campuses."
