As many as 3,500 nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and about 3,600 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan were off the job. Talks were resuming Monday afternoon at Montefiore, but there was no immediate word on when bargaining might resume at Mount Sinai. The nurses union, the New York State Nurses Association, said members had to strike because chronic understaffing leaves them caring for too many patients.
The hospitals said they had offered the same raises — totaling 19% over three years — that the union had accepted at several otherMontefiore said it had agreed to add 170 more nurses. Mount Sinai’s administration said the union’s focus on nurse-to-patient ratios “ignores the progress we have made to attract and hire more new nurses, despite a global shortage of healthcare workers that is impacting hospitals across the country.
“As a patient, of course, I am annoyed and inconvenienced,” she wrote in an email. But Gervasio, a union member herself, said she blames the hospital management, not the nurses. A lineup of other city and state Democratic politicians, including Attorney General Letitia James, joined a midday union rally Monday.
