NYC Labor Stands with Striking NYSNA Nurses!

Executives at some of our city’s wealthiest hospitals have forced nearly 15,000 nurses out on the largest nurse strike in New York City history. Nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are on strike because management is threatening to cut healthcare for frontline nurses, refusing to agree to workplace violence protections, despite two recent incidents of violence at New York City hospitals, and trying to undo safe staffing standards that nurses won for New Yorkers when they went on strike 3 years ago. Read the latest on the nurses' historic fight here!

Unions have been hitting the picket lines to stand shoulder to shoulder with these brave nurses. Strike lines are up and running up at locations in the Bronx and Manhattan between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM and we are asking for continued solidarity from New York City's Labor Movement. If you can take some time to walk a picket line with the nurses, that solidarity will go a long way toward helping settle this contract for the nurses and the communities they serve.

It’s time for hospital management to recognize the power of working people standing together, to listen to their nurses, and commit to fair contracts for our communities without further delay. Schedules may change so make sure to follow the nurses on Facebook, Bluesky, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest updates on picket lines and locations, and we'll see you out there!
