The longest nurses strike in NYC history may be over by Valentine’s Day, as NewYork-Presbyterian, the third and final affected hospital, came to a tentative agreement with the picketing caretakers late Tuesday night.
More than 4,200 nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian on Feb. 10 joined nearly 11,000 New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) members at Montefiore and the Mount Sinai Hospital system in voting on whether to ratify tentative agreements with their hospitals.
The NewYork-Presbyterian NYSNA members began to vote on Feb. 10 and, like the nurses at the other two hospitals, will continue voting throughout Wednesday.
