Last week, NYNSA kicked off negotiations with NYC for our Health + Hospitals/Mayorals contract. Members are united in winning a fair contract that protects nurses and our public healthcare system. NYSNA nurses and negotiators are prepared to talk about the financial benefits of safe staffing, as well as nurse retention, workplace violence and issues of equity. We know that there is a predatory relationship between the private sector and public sector hospitals and that inequality causes healthcare disparities for New Yorkers. Together, we can win for nurses and patients!

It's time for a contract in NYC Health + Hospitals! These nurses fight hard to protect our public health system and to care for ALL New Yorkers, so we are letting the community know.
Yesterday, we came out en masse at Lincoln and Woodhull hospitals to rally for #healthcarejustice for the other New York. Stay tuned for future H+H rallies coming soon! Click here for a slideshow.
