Nurses restart contract talks with another major hospital system on 5th day of strike
ABC News • • general
Key Points:
- New York City nurses have resumed contract talks with Mount Sinai hospitals amid a strike now in its fifth day, following earlier negotiations with NewYork-Presbyterian that yielded little progress.
- The NewYork-Presbyterian hospital stated it remains committed to safe staffing and views the union’s proposals as unreasonable, while the union claims its revised proposals were rejected without counteroffers.
- Negotiations with Montefiore, the third major hospital system affected by the strike, have not yet resumed, with conflicting statements about scheduled meetings between the union and hospital officials.
- Each hospital system is negotiating independently, and not all hospitals under these systems are affected by the strike, which has been mitigated by hiring thousands of temporary nurses to maintain operations.
