Striking nurses at 2 NYC hospital systems approve new contract but ones at another reject deal
Mount Sinai and Montefiore nurses approved contracts with over 12% raises and new safety measures while NewYork-Presbyterian nurses continue striking over staffing and job security.
- On Wednesday, the New York State Nurses Association said Montefiore and Mount Sinai nurses approved new three-year deals while nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian rejected the proposal.
- The walkout began on Jan. 12 when nearly 15,000 nurses walked off the job, demanding higher pay, better staffing, workplace protections and preserved benefits.
- Key provisions in the pacts cover pay raises of more than 12% over three years, enforceable safe-staffing standards and increased staffing, workplace-violence protections, maintained health benefits with no additional out-of-pocket costs, and new safeguards around artificial intelligence.
- The ratified deals would restore more than 10,000 nurses to hospitals by Saturday, Feb. 14, while over 4,200 nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian remain on strike.
- Union members protested after leadership pressed the vote at NewYork-Presbyterian despite the bargaining committee rejecting it, while more than 1,500 petition signatures and over 50 nurses demanded a disciplinary investigation at NYSNA headquarters.
