Nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian voted to reject their tentative agreement and mediator’s proposal. More than 4,200 nurses remain on an unfair labor practice strike at NewYork-Presbyterian. The latest picket line hours and locations can be found here.

NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN, BSN, CCRN said, “Nurses set out to improve patient care because NYSNA nurses believe that every patient is a VIP. Our contracts ensure that our hospitals are safer places – through increased staffing, workplace violence protections, and more. This hard-earned victory shows hospitals that they can’t cut corners on patient care. Now it’s time for NewYork-Presbyterian to do the right thing, agree to a fair contract and bring all our nurses back to work.” Read more here, and make sure to follow the nurses on Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest updates.
