Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.More than 7,000 nurses entered the second day of their strike on Tuesday at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.
“Montefiore remains at the bargaining table, committed to an equitable agreement that reflects the priorities of our dedicated nurses,” the hospital said in a statement released Tuesday. They have emphasized that they are most concerned about hospitals addressing staffing levels that they say are unsafe for patients. Nurses are pushing for Montefiore and Mount Sinai to commit to concrete nurse-to-patient ratios in their contracts, along with provisions that will allow those ratios to be enforced.
NYSNA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on those offers from Montefiore and where negotiations with the hospital stand.
