Thousands of New York City Nurses Go on Strike -- WSJ

Dow Jones01-12

By Joseph De Avila

Nearly 15,000 New York City nurses walked off the job on Monday in the city's largest nurses strike in history.

The hospitals affected by the strike are Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside, Mount Sinai West, Montefiore Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

The sticking points in the contract negotiations include proposed healthcare benefits, staffing standards and workplace-violence protections, according to the New York State Nurses Association. The nurses union voted to authorize a strike in December.

"Hospital management refuses to address our most important issues -- patient and nurse safety," said Nancy Hagans, president of the NYSNA. "It is shameful that the city's richest hospitals refuse to continue healthcare benefits for frontline nurses, refuse to staff safely for our patients, and refuse to protect us from workplace violence."

Mount Sinai said Monday it is ready to provide patient care for as long as the strike lasts.

"Unfortunately, NYSNA decided to move forward with its strike while refusing to move on from its extreme economic demands, which we cannot agree to," Mount Sinai said.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order over the weekend directing the state Department of Health to have staff on site at the affected hospitals to ensure there is no disruption of care for the duration of the strike. Hochul urged both sides to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
