More than 200 NYSNA members carried out a spirited info picket at Staten Island University Hospital during the afternoon and early evening on February 28. The members are demanding safe staffing levels, a voice for all nurses on issues such as patient care and workplace safety, and retiree health security.

Members were joined by "Mr. Moneybags," who delivered a very clear message in behalf of nurses and the communities they serve: Northwell Health must re-invest its profits into the people of Staten Island instead of giving payouts to its executives who live Off-Island.

SIUH nurses are determined to achieve a fair contract that allows for quality care for Staten Island’s residents.
