NYC Nurses Strike Expands, Hospitals Brace for Staffing Strain

Nearly 15,000 nurses walked off across New York City's top hospitals, marking the city’s largest nurses’ strike in decades and testing staffing at facilities such as NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, Montefiore, and Mount Sinai. As the second day of action continues, Mount Sinai says cracks are appearing in the nurses’ resolve while unions allege three nurses were illegally fired before the strike as intimidation, highlighting disputes over staffing and pay and potential impacts on patient care.

NYC Nurses Strike Exposes Wealth Gap in Private Hospitals

Nearly 15,000 NYSNA nurses walked out of major NYC private hospitals after months of stalled talks over pay, health insurance, and understaffing, with Mayor Mamdani and allies accusing hospital leaders of wealth hoarding. Hospitals say union demands would cost billions amid federal cuts and ACA-related funding pressures, and have already spent heavily on strike prep, turning the dispute into a broader fight over who benefits from the costly U.S. health care system.

Thousands of NYC Nurses Strike, Testing City Hospitals' Resilience

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.

"Santa Clara County Nurses Stage Massive 3-Day Strike"

Thousands of nurses from Santa Clara County's public hospitals, including Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, O'Connor, and St. Louise, are on a three-day strike over wage increases and concerns about relocating nurses for temporary assignments. The union and county have reached a tentative agreement on workplace safety but remain at an impasse over pay raises and the "floating" policy. The county has brought in about 1,000 travel nurses to cover for the striking nurses, costing over $20 million, while facing a $250 million shortfall going into the next fiscal year.

UK court curbs nurses' strike after ruling it unlawful.

A judge has ruled that the forthcoming strike in England by members of the Royal College of Nursing must be cut short by a day, ending on Bank Holiday Monday instead of Tuesday, following a case brought by the government at the High Court. The judge ruled that the RCN's six-month mandate for strike action would have lapsed by Tuesday. Health Secretary Steve Barclay took legal action after NHS Employers said it believed the last day of the planned strike was not covered by the mandate.

RCN union leader warns of potential Christmas nurse strikes in UK.

RCN union leader warns of potential Christmas nurse strikes in UK.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) warns that nurses' strikes in England could continue until Christmas, as it refuses to pause a 48-hour strike over the first May bank holiday. The strike involves NHS nurses in emergency departments, intensive care, cancer and other wards. The previous nurses' strike in February included exemptions to maintain staffing in critical areas. The strike was called after RCN members rejected the government's offer of a 5% rise in 2023/24 and a one-payment of at least £1,655. The RCN urges the government to put more money on the table and treat nurses with respect.
