"Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders joined striking nurses on the picket line in the bitter cold outside Manhattan's Mount Sinai West on Tuesday morning as the largest nursing strike in New York City history entered its ninth day. Hizzoner and Sanders joined the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the union representing nearly 15,000 striking nurses across the city, at Mount Sinai West at 1000 10th Ave. in biting arctic temperatures to make their voices heard."
"This is about a fair contract. This is about dignity, Mamdani said. Wherever I go in New York City, I hear about the plight of our nurses. Now is your time of need, where we can ensure that this is a city you don't just work in, but a city you can also live in. Mamdani further asserted that the ongoing strike is not about compensation, but rather seeks to recognize the worth"
Tuesday, Jan. 20, marks the 20th day of Zohran Mamdani's term as mayor. Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders joined striking nurses on the picket line outside Mount Sinai West as the largest nursing strike in New York City history entered its ninth day in bitter cold. The New York State Nurses Association represents nearly 15,000 striking nurses across the city. Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian are the hospital groups involved. Negotiations with some hospital systems were revived last week but stalled on Friday, keeping nurses on the picket line. Mamdani said the strike centers on safe working conditions, dignity and ensuring nurses can live in the city, not solely compensation.
