NYC nurses reach a deal to end a strike at 2 major hospitals while walkout continues at another
Tentative contracts include over 12% pay raises, enforceable staffing standards, safety protections, and preserved benefits for 10,500 nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai, union says.
- On Monday, the New York State Nurses Association announced a tentative deal with Montefiore and Mount Sinai to end a nearly monthlong strike.
- Staffing and safety complaints prompted the Jan. 12 strike, with nurses striking over staffing levels, workplace safety, health insurance and other workplace concerns.
- The contract includes pay, benefits and new safety provisions for roughly 10,500 nurses, with a 12% pay raise over three years, health benefits with no additional out-of-pocket costs, and protections for transgender and immigrant nurses and patients plus artificial intelligence safeguards.
- Meanwhile, nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian remain on strike, so the walkout continues at that hospital system.
- Hospitals had to hire temporary nurses amid a demanding flu season as nearly 15,000 NYSNA members held the line for four weeks, the union said.
