Over 7,000 Nurses Go on Strike at 2 New York City Hospitals More than 7,000 nurses at two hospitals in New York City went on strike early Monday (Jan. 9), forcing the health centers into a frantic flurry to move patients, divert ambulances and scale back other services. The strikes, over working conditions, salaries and staffing policies, presented serious challenges to hospitals already facing the “tripledemic” of R.S.V., flu and Covid-19 cases across the city. After failing to reach an agreement during a late-night bargaining session on Sunday (Jan. 8), the New York State Nurses Association said early Monday that nurses were on strike at two hospitals: the Mount Sinai Medical Center, on the Upper East Side, and Montefiore Medical Center, in the Bronx. 🔗Source: New York Times
