A possible strike by thousands of New York City nurses is looming even though nurses at one hospital reached a tentative agreement hours before their contract was set to expire.
Nurses at Montefiore Medical Center Moses Division hold an"urgent community speak out" and press conference in front of the hospital, demanding N95s and other critical personal protective equipment to handle the COVID-19 outbreak, on April 2, 2020, in New York. Thousands of nurses in New York City notified eight hospitals, including Montefiore, on Friday, Dec. 30, 2022, that they will go on strike in 10 days unless contract agreements are reached.
The union issued a 10-day notice that it intends to strike if an agreement isn't reached. The advance notice is required by law to give hospitals to arrange for alternative staffing. They also want community benefits such as funding programs to recruit and train nurses from within the communities they serve.
Representatives of several hospitals said Friday they remained hopeful contract agreements will be reached before a strike but said they are prepared to bring in outside workers as a precaution as they face high patient volume because of the triple health threats.
