Overview

  • Nearly 15,000 nurses from Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian remain on strike over staffing, pay and workplace safety.
  • Hospitals say facilities stay open using contingency staffing, with Mount Sinai retaining about 1,400 temporary nurses and state health staff on site.
  • Negotiations had been dormant since Jan. 11 before talks at NewYork-Presbyterian were set to resume this evening.
  • Mount Sinai fired three labor-and-delivery nurses before the walkout, prompting unfair-labor-practice charges that the hospital disputes.
  • Hospital leaders call union economic proposals unaffordable, citing multibillion-dollar estimates, while the union rejects those figures and presses for enforceable staffing ratios and protections.
