New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA)<\/a>, which represents the nearly 15,000 striking nurses, said talks have failed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cAll hospital systems reneged on their commitment to offer straightforward counter-proposals on salaries that would not make nurses choose between maintaining their health benefits, getting a pay raise, or improving hospital safety,\u201d NYSNA said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nurses from Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyerian in Manhattan and Montefiore in the Bronx have been on strike since Jan. 12. They are demanding better pay, more staff and improved workplace conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nurses maintain that hospital management is proposing \u201cdrastic cuts\u201d to health benefits for frontline nurses and their families.\n<\/p>\n
Management at the hospitals says differently.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Brendan Carr, MD, CEO of Mount Sinai, said management has been attending bargaining sessions and offered lump sum increases to NYSNA so the union can \u201callocate those funds\u201d however it chooses.\n<\/p>\n
Management at NewYork-Presbyterian said it presented a series of proposals that the union \u201cwalked away\u201d from on Friday.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe presented a series of proposals, including an increased economic proposal with healthcare benefits which remain at zero cost to our nurses, and are some of the best in the nation,\u201d the hospital said in a statement. \u201cNYSNA walked away from the negotiations this evening with no commitment to bargain on Saturday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The strike continued as NYC braced for the impact of a major winter storm. It was unclear at press time if the nurses were at the picket line during the storm on Sunday.\n<\/p>\n
No new negotiation meetings are scheduled, but hospital bosses have said they remain committed to the bargaining process.\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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nurses on day 9 of the nurses strike.
