US EditionNYC Nurse Strike: Hospitals to Start Negotiating Again, Source Says
Nurses strike over staffing, wages, benefits, and AI use, with 15,000 involved at NYC’s largest hospitals, citing patient care and safety concerns amid contract disputes.
- On Monday, roughly 15,000 nurses walked off at multiple campuses of Mount Sinai Health System, Montefiore Health System and NewYork‑Presbyterian after contracts expired on December 31.
- Nurses say the core demands focus on staffing, benefits, safety and AI safeguards, with Mount Sinai stopping Anthem health plans earlier this month and union members opposing insurance cost shifts.
- Hospitals have relied on temporary staff, including Mount Sinai hiring 1,200 travel nurses; on‑staff unionized nurses rose from 20% to 23%, and emergency department patient registrations increased 25%.
- Negotiations are scheduled to resume Thursday with additional meetings Friday as the city emergency management department coordinates responses while hospitals urge patients to continue seeking care.
- Preserving arbitration and staffing protections is central to the union’s strategy after the 2023 nurse strike won safe-staffing language letting nurses bring violations to arbitration with penalties.
