Strike Notices Delivered at Eight Hospitals and Counting   

New York, NY—NYSNA nurses at eight hospitals, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Maimonides, BronxCare, Richmond University Medical Center and Flushing Hospital Medical Center delivered 10-day notices to strike today. NYSNA will continue to bargain non-stop between now and January 9th in the hopes of reaching agreements.   

The 10-day notices give hospitals time to plan care for patients while nurses are on strike. But the best way for management to protect patients is to listen to nurses and settle fair contracts that protect patient care in the next 10 days.    

This notice means that approximately 16,000 nurses and counting will go on strike beginning Jan. 9 in at least eight hospitals, unless we can reach fair contract agreements before then.  NYSNA will provide a more complete report tomorrow, after negotiations are completed.
