More than 7,000 nurses are on strike at two large New York City hospitals for a second day.
The walkout involves as many as 3,500 nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and around 3,600 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan.
Governor Kathy Hochul unsuccessfully called on the hospitals and nurses to enter binding arbitration, which would have meant that the nurses would still go to work while negotiations continue. "We welcome the Governor’s support in fighting for fair contracts that protect our patients, and we will not give up on our fight to ensure that our patients have enough nurses at the bedside. We call on Gov. Hochul to join us in putting patients over profits and to enforce existing nurse staffing laws. Gov. Hochul should listen to frontline COVID nurse heroes and respect our federally-protected labor and collective bargaining rights. Nurses don’t want to strike.
The contingency plan already in place is to divert ambulances, postpone elective and heart surgeries, and Transfer NICU babies and cancer patients to other hospitals, plans that Mount Sinai says will put even more strain on emergency departments and health systems during a time of crisis.
