The nurses\u2019 strike<\/a> in NYC continued on Thursday with representatives of nearly 15,000 unionized caretakers meeting with hospital management to negotiate contract demands as the city\u2019s largest nurses\u2019 walkout entered its 11th day.<\/p>\n

The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA)<\/a> said it planned to negotiate with the three affected hospitals, Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian in Manhattan, and Montefiore in the Bronx, throughout the day in the hope of finally putting a fair end to the historic nurses strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to asking for better pay, more staff, and improved workplace conditions, the nurses have maintained that three labor and delivery nurses were fired in retaliation, leading up to the strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hospital\u2019s attempts to intimidate nurses have clearly been unsuccessful,\u201d said Nancy Hagans, RN, and NYSNA president. \u201cNurses are out in force every day, continuing to fight for the safety of their patients and their colleagues. As a union, we will also fight these disciplines and terminations because Mount Sinai\u2019s union-busting has no place in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n

NYSNA filed several Unfair Labor Practice charges against Mount Sinai for retaliation; the hospital has denied that the terminations were a counterattack against the strike.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThree nurses were disciplined after their own co-workers complained about them interfering with other nurses providing patient care in the emergency department,\u201d hospital management said in a statement. \u201cWe value our nurses and\u00a0could not risk patient care by allowing them to be distracted from providing world-class patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)<\/a>\u00a0Commissioner\u00a0Sam Levine\u00a0visited the strike line at Mount Sinai and\u00a0met with the nurses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The union and management have not been able to see eye-to-eye on contract demands, which led to the start of the strike on Jan. 12. Each of the three hospital systems is working independently with the nurses. Talks that have taken place since the nurses\u2019 contract expired on Dec. 31 have not been successful.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s bargaining meetings were ongoing throughout the day. Results of the talks were not announced at press time.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

The affected hospitals and their emergency rooms remain open with the help of agency nurses and the NYS Department of Health. Both hospital management and the union urge New Yorkers to seek care at hospitals if they need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nurses remain on strike around the city.
