Striking nurses at 2 NYC hospital systems approve new contract but ones at another reject deal | National News

NEW YORK (AP) — Nurses on strike at two major New York City hospital systems have approved new contracts, but ones striking at another system have rejected the proposal, ensuring that the monthlong walkout will continue at some of the city’s major medical centers.

The New York State Nurses Association announced Wednesday that its members at Montefiore and Mount Sinai approved new three-year deals while nurses at NewYork Presbyterian have rejected the proposal.
