US EditionNurses Strike Enters Second Day at Major New York City Hospitals
The strike demands safer staffing, better pay, fully funded benefits, and stronger protections; hospitals use 1,400 temporary nurses to maintain care during the largest NYC nurses strike.
- On Monday, an estimated 15,000 nurses walked off the job at hospitals within the Mount Sinai Health System, Montefiore Health System and NewYork-Presbyterian, launching the largest nurses strike in city history.
- After bargaining sessions on Sunday failed to produce a deal, the New York State Nurses Association says nurses struck for safer staffing, better pay, funded benefits and stronger protections.
- Hospital systems say traveling nurses are filling gaps while about 20% of Mount Sinai's nurses reported for work instead of picketing on Monday.
- All affected hospitals say they remain open and emergency rooms are operating, with the New York State Department of Health and New York City Emergency Management ensuring uninterrupted care and patient transfers.
- Called the largest nurses strike in city history, the action recalls a three‑year‑old walkout that forced transfers amid an active flu season, with hospitals describing demands as prohibitively expensive and the union alleging unlawful firings at Mount Sinai Health System.
