Staten Island University Hospital nurses have voted to ratify a new contract with SIUH-Northwell Health. They had been ready to set out on strike on Tuesday, April 2. “Nurses shouldn’t be living paycheck to paycheck while keeping Staten Island safe and healthy, and Northwell shouldn’t be making cuts that make their jobs even harder while spending big on corporate expansions and fancy ad campaigns,” Hagans had said. “Nurses on Staten Island deserve a fair contract with respectful raises and safe staffing. Northwell needs to do better by their nurses.”
“Nurses are dedicated to serving their Staten Island community but are being pushed to seek other opportunities because of SIUH’s lower pay and unsafe staffing levels. Staten Island is the only borough without an acute care public hospital. Given Northwell-SIUH’s near monopoly on healthcare on Staten Island, our community’s care will continue to suffer until pay and unsafe staffing levels are fixed.
