"Third-party mediators arranged for management and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the union representing the 4,200 nurses who remain on strike, to meet at the bargaining table on Feb. 19. The talks continued after NYSNA rejected the most recent proposal from both their bosses and mediators on Feb. 11. NYSNA members rejected the latest contract proposal because it did not fairly address their key staffing concerns."
"Beth Loudin, RN, local leader from NewYork-Presbyterian said NYSNA is looking forward to speaking with hospital management. Talks will continue throughout the day, with results to be announced. We are eager to get back to the table with NewYork-Presbyterian and make progress on job security and staffing, Loudin said. We've fought for six long weeks because we want the best for our patients and are excited to return to care for New Yorkers."
Thousands of unionized nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian continued a strike focused on staffing levels and job security. Third-party mediators arranged negotiations on Feb. 19 after NYSNA rejected a Feb. 11 contract proposal that members said failed to address key staffing concerns. NYSNA represents 4,200 nurses who remain on strike, while nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai returned to work on Feb. 14 after separate agreements. Nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian secured an arbitration award on Feb. 16 addressing staffing in a pediatric intensive care unit. NewYork-Presbyterian reported hiring over 400 nurses at its Columbia hospitals in three years and affirmed safe staffing as a priority. Bargaining continued with outcomes to be announced.
