US EditionNurses and New York hospital system reach a tentative deal to end the city’s largest nursing strike
The agreement includes 12% raises over three years, improved staffing and workplace safety protections, pending ratification by 4,200 NewYork-Presbyterian nurses after a 39-day strike.
- Early Friday, negotiators for the New York State Nurses Association announced a tentative contract agreement with NewYork-Presbyterian just after midnight, signaling a possible end to the strike.
- The walkout began Jan. 12 at three private hospital systems after contract talks failed, and nurses said they were striking for better staffing, higher pay, preserved health coverage and protections.
- The tentative contract includes salary increases of about 12% over three years, enforceable safe-staffing standards, priority hiring for emergency department and cath lab, artificial intelligence safeguards, and health benefits maintained with no additional out-of-pocket costs.
- Union members will vote Friday and Saturday on the deal, and if ratified, nurses would return to work next week after hospitals spent $100 million on thousands of travel nurses.
- At 39 days, the strike became the city's longest and includes an arbitration award of nearly $400,000 to some nurses, with faster arbitration and hiring commitments.
