NYC nurses on strike resume negotiations with hospitals on 11th day
January 22, 2026
New York City nurses on strike are headed back to the bargaining table with hospital administrators to try to bring an end to the city’s biggest walkout of its kind in decades. The New York State Nurses Association confirmed contract negotiations resumed Thursday morning with officials at the three private hospital systems impacted by the strike: Montefiore, Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian. The union said nurses are committed to bargaining daily to settle the dispute. Roughly 15,000 nurses walked off the job Jan. 12, prompting the hospitals to bring on thousands of temporary workers to keep operations running.
