NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) \u2013 Some hospitals have reached an agreement with nurses to end a massive, 29-day strike<\/a>, but thousands of nurses remain on the picket line, according to the New York State Nurses Association.<\/p>\n

The nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai say they won key contract improvements, like a 12% salary jump over the next three years and an increase in staffing. If the agreements go through as drafted, nurses will return to work on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cNurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai systems are heading back to the bedside with our heads held high after winning fair tentative contracts that maintain enforceable safe staffing ratios, improve protections from workplace violence, and maintain health benefits with no additional out-of-pocket costs for frontline nurses,\u201d said NYSNA President Nancy Hagans.<\/p>\n

But over 4,000 more nurses remain on the picket line as labor negotiations stall with NewYork-Presbyterian.<\/p>\n

In a statement to PIX11 News, a spokesperson for NewYork-Presbyterian said the hospital has agreed to a proposal from mediators.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewYork-Presbyterian accepted the proposal, which includes the same wage increases for all three hospitals, as well as preserves the pension, maintains our nurses\u2019 health benefits, and includes increased staffing levels,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The strike has been the longest and largest in New York\u2019s history, according to NYSNA.<\/p>\n
