"New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) members at NewYork-Presbyterian voted overwhelmingly on Saturday to ratify a new contract, officially ending the 41-day nurses strike in NYC. The new three-year contract increases salaries by more than 12% over its span to recruit and retain nurses for safe patient care, the nurses' union said. It also provides more protection from workplace violence, improved safe staffing standards and safeguards against AI."
"NYSNA reps said 93% of its members voted yes while 7% voted against the contract. More than 4,000 striking nurses will return to work at the Manhattan hospital system this week, though an exact date has not yet been announced. Nurses at the other two affected hospitals, Montefiore and Mount Sinai, returned to work on Feb. 14 after voting on their new contracts with similar agreements in place."
"NewYork-Presbyterian management said it was pleased with the outcome of the agreement. We are pleased to share that we have a new ratified contract with NYSNA and look forward to our nurses' return to the hospital, a spokesperson said in a statement. The new contract reflects our respect for our nurses and the critical role they play as part of our exceptional care teams."
