12,000 New York City Hospital Nurses Prepare to Strike
Some 12,000 New York City nurses are preparing to strike this month at seven local hospitals unless negotiators reach an agreement in ongoing contract talks.
Nurses delivered 10-day strike notices at facilities this weekend as hospital executives failed to settle the contracts, which may mean that nurses in the city will go on strike beginning Jan. 9.
Nancy Hagans, a registered nurse at Brooklyn’s Maimonides Medical Center and president of the New York State Nurses Association, said the nurses have no option but to strike.
“We have been through hell, risking our lives throughout the pandemic, and yet our bosses are still fighting against COVID nurse heroes. We don’t need anyone to clap for us now. We need fair union contracts that protect nurses and our patients.”
