"Members of the NYSNA Photo by NYSNA Nurses from five private hospitals in Brooklyn and Staten Island who were set to strike later this month have rescinded their Jan. 2 strike notice as they neared tentative agreements with management, according to the union representing them. The news comes as a Jan. 12 strike deadline approaches, and nurses at seven other NYC hospitals remain poised to walk out unless management meets their demands."
"Over 16,700 nurses at seven private NYC hospitals could still strike next week after negotiations with hospital leadership over healthcare and workplace violence protections, wages and staffing remain at an impasse."
"Our safety-net hospitals are taking significant steps toward settling fiscally responsible contracts that protect nurses and patients, while rich private hospitals like Montefiore, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian continue to throw away hundreds of millions of dollars to fight against frontline nurses, NYSNA president and Maimonides nurse Nancy Hagans, RN, said."
Nurses at five private hospitals in Brooklyn and Staten Island rescinded a Jan. 2 strike notice after nearing tentative agreements with management. With a Jan. 12 strike deadline approaching, nurses at seven other New York City hospitals remain poised to walk out if demands are unmet. More than 16,700 nurses across those seven hospitals could strike because negotiations over healthcare and workplace violence protections, wages, and staffing remain at an impasse. Affected hospitals include Montefiore, Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia, Brooklyn Hospital Center, BronxCare, and Flushing. Nurses at several safety-net hospitals reached tentative deals and will continue bargaining to finalize contracts.
