The union said members at Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals will vote on whether to ratify the contracts and return to work this week.<\/p>\n

The three-year deal affects roughly 10,500 of the some 15,000 nurses on strike<\/a> at some of the city\u2019s biggest private, nonprofit hospitals, with thousands of beds among them.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor four weeks, nearly 15,000 NYSNA members held the line in the cold and in the snow for safe patient care,\u201d Nancy Hagans, president of the New York State Nurses Association, said in a statement. \u201cNow, nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai systems are heading back to the bedside with our heads held high.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nurses\u2019 union said the agreement calls for a 12% pay raise<\/a> over three years, as well as maintaining nurses\u2019 health benefits with no additional out-of-pocket costs.<\/p>\n

The pact also includes new protections against workplace violence, including specific protections for transgender and immigrant nurses and patients, as well as safeguards against artificial intelligence, the union said.<\/p>\n
