nursing strike new york.

New York City nurses on strike say they’ve restarted contract talks with another one of the major hospital systems affected on the fifth day of the walkout. The New York State Nurses Association said Friday that its bargaining team has begun meetings with their counterparts at three Mount Sinai hospitals on Friday. The union met Thursday night with NewYork-Presbyterian administrators but both sides said the lengthy meeting ended with little progress made to end the city’s biggest strike of its kind in decades. Negotiations still have not resumed with Montefiore, the third major hospital system impacted. Each medical center is negotiating with the union independently.

New York City nurses on strike are set to resume negotiations with hospital administrators to try to bring an end to a walkout that’s in its fourth day. The two sides haven’t met since Sunday, as roughly 15,000 unionized nurses went on strike at three major hospital systems Monday. But the New York State Nurses Association says its bargaining members will meet with their counterparts at NewYork-Presbyterian on Thursday evening. They’ll meet with officials at two affected hospital systems, Mount Sinai and Montefiore, on Friday. Each medical center is negotiating with the union independently.

New York City nurses are striking for a third day with both sides seemingly digging in for the long haul.  Negotiations don’t appear to be on the table Wednesday with any of the three major hospital systems affected by the walkout. Picketing nurses also held a rally at a Bronx hospital in which their leaders took aim at hospital administrators, saying they are “blatantly mischaracterizing” their contract demands. Meanwhile the hospital systems say they’ve committed to keeping on the travel nurses they brought on to fill work gaps at least through next week.  The walkout involves about 15,000 nurses at the Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian hospital systems.

Thousands of New York City nurses are resuming their strike as some of the city’s leading hospitals have moved to hire replacement workers to fill the labor gap. The walkout that enters a second day Tuesday involves about 15,000 nurses at major hospitals including NewYork-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai. The strike comes during a severe flu season. It follows a similar walkout three years ago, with staffing issues once again emerging as a flashpoint. Hospitals claim they’ve improved staffing and cast the nurses’ demands as unreasonably expensive. The nurses say hospitals have backtracked on their previous pledges to improve staffing.

Thousands of nurses at several major New York City hospitals have gone on strike. Nurses were to start walking off the job Monday starting at 6 a.m. after negotiations through the weekend failed to yield a breakthrough. The affected hospitals include NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai. The union says about 15,000 nurses are participating in the strike. Among the nurses’ demands are manageable workloads and more workplace security. Hospitals say the union’s demands are too costly.
