NYC hosp dodges nurse strike as others prep for 'really bad situation'
reached a last-minute agreement with the union Sunday — as a top doc at another facility warned of a “really bad situation” if staffers walk out.
The chief doctor and his team directed physicians to begin calling patients to prepare them for the possibility of a strike and warned that they may not be able to be present for delivery if they haven’t received credentials for the other hospitals. The massive medical complex and its competitors are beset by understaffing and scheduling practices that have left nurses spread thin, according to union leaders.
“We are here to negotiate in good faith, to make sure that the nurses have enough resources to care for the patients.”
