Thousands of NYC Nurses Strike, Testing City Hospitals' Resilience
TL;DR Summary
Nearly 15,000 New York City nurses walked off the job Monday in the city’s largest-ever nurses’ strike, affecting major hospitals such as Mount Sinai, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian. The union seeks higher pay, more staff, fully funded benefits, and stronger protections against violence. Mayor Zohran Mamdani supported the strike and urged bargaining, while Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency as hospitals prepare for disruptions. Hospitals say they will remain open and have hired thousands of agency nurses to maintain care, with all three Northwell hospitals on Long Island previously reaching agreements to avert a strike.
