NURSES STRIKE: Firefighters and pols join caregivers on picket line in Manhattan  amNewYork
"NYSNA reps say that instead of agreeing to a fair contract, the three private hospital systems, Mount Sinai, Montefiore, and New York-Presbyterian, have tried to roll back safe staffing, push forward cuts to healthcare coverage, and rejected solutions to address workplace violence, while retaliating against, slandering, and terminating nurses in attempts to intimidate them. NYSNA nurses are demanding that hospital executives reverse the unlawful disciplines and terminations and return to the bargaining table."
"Several firefighters joined nurses on the picket line outside Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital on the Upper West Side on Jan. 15 in a show of solidarity for the union fighting for a fair labor contract, including safe staffing, adequate healthcare benefits, and protection from workplace violence. Uniformed Firefighters Association reps, President Andrew Ansbro, Noah Mueller, and Michael Schreiber told amNewYork that they joined the picket line because the FDNY owed New York City nurses much gratitude for saving firefighters' lives and limbs."
