According to the national media, 16000 nurses spread across eight hospitals plan to walk off the job in 9 days, unless they reach a contract deal before then.<\/p>\n
They are all represented by the ‘New York State Nurses Association.’<\/p>\n
The union says it is giving advance notice so the hospitals can prepare.<\/p>\n
The eight hospitals where the nurses could strike include New York-Presbyterian, Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Maimonides, BronxCare, Richmond University Medical Center, and Flushing Hospital Medical Center.<\/p>\n
Nurses say hospitals are short-staffed and are not doing enough for patients as COVID, RSV, and the flu run rampant.<\/p>\n

The NYSNA held a vote over a week ago in which nearly 99% of nurses voted to authorize the strike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
