New York City Nurses End Six-Week Strike With Pay, Staffing Pact

Thousands of nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia voted to end a six-week strike by ratifying a three-year contract that includes roughly a 12% raise, staffing protections, and layoff safeguards (with AI provisions for the first time). The stoppage, the largest and longest NYC nurses strike in decades, involved up to 15,000 nurses across several hospitals and led to replacement hires and care disruptions. While the deal averts further walkouts for now, tensions between the NYSNA union and hospital leadership are likely to linger as the next contract approaches in three years.

NYC nurses launch largest hospital strike over pay, staffing and safety

Nearly 15,000 New York State Nurses Association members walked out at Montefiore Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai—the biggest nursing strike in NYC history—demanding inflation-adjusted pay, stronger staffing protections, and new contract provisions on artificial intelligence and workplace violence. Hospitals say negotiations with mediators were limited and warn the demands would be costly amid federal health-care funding changes; state officials will monitor patient safety as hospitals deploy temporary staff and have spent more than $100 million preparing for the strike.
