Day 5 of NYC Nurses Strike: Talks Restart With Mount Sinai as Progress Stalls Elsewhere

Talks restarted under mediation as hospitals maintain services with temporary nurses.

Overview

  • Roughly 15,000 nurses remain on strike across key Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian and Montefiore hospitals in New York City.
  • The union says it began meetings Friday morning with negotiators for three Mount Sinai hospitals at a mediator’s request.
  • A late-night session with NewYork-Presbyterian and a federal mediator ended with little movement and no further meetings scheduled.
  • Negotiations with Montefiore have not resumed, with the union expecting a session and the hospital saying none was planned.
  • Hospitals report operating with thousands of temporary nurses and label union proposals too costly, as Mount Sinai cites a $1.6 billion three-year price tag and the union says its revised offers were rejected without a counter.
