Elmhurst Hospital Resident Physicians End Strike with Tentative Deal

Resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens ended their strike after reaching a tentative agreement with their employer, Mount Sinai, following nearly a year of negotiations. The agreement includes an 18% wage increase over three years retroactive to November 2022 and an enforceable agreement to negotiate on hazard pay among other tenets. Elmhurst was once called “the epicenter of the epicenter” of the country’s coronavirus outbreak.

Doctors Strike at Elmhurst Hospital in NYC Over Pay Inequality and Pandemic Treatment Disparities

Over 150 unionized resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital in New York City have gone on a planned five-day strike, demanding pay equal to their non-union colleagues at Mount Sinai Hospital. The doctors, who are part of the committee of interns and residents union, say their non-union counterparts at Mount Sinai's Upper East Side campus make $7,000 more than them annually. Mount Sinai has responded by offering a 19.1% compounded increase in pay across three years and is committed to finding a mutually acceptable solution as soon as possible.

Elmhurst Hospital Faces Doctor Strike Threats.

More than 150 resident doctors at Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens, New York City, went on strike on Monday, the first physician strike at a hospital in the city in over 30 years. The doctors are protesting against low pay and lack of hazard pay during the pandemic. The striking doctors, many of whom were still in medical school in 2020, say the pandemic has encouraged activism and organizing. The strike is not expected to result in major disruptions to care, but it is heavy on symbolism.
