Nurses at two of New York City's largest hospitals walked off the job Monday morning in a dispute over pay and staffing levels.
CBS New York says Montefiore then put out a statement of its own, saying the strike would begin at 6 a.m. and calling it"a sad day for New York City."
Montefiore and Mount Sinai are the last of a group of hospitals with contracts with the union that expired simultaneously. The Nurses Association had initially warned that it would strike at all of them at the same time - a potential calamity even in a city with as many hospitals as New York.Nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital ratified a deal Saturday that will give them raises of 7%, 6%, and 5% over the next three years while also increasing staffing levels.
Mount Sinai's administration said in a statement that the union's focus on staffing-to-patient ratios"ignores the progress we have made to attract and hire more new nurses, despite a global shortage of healthcare workers that is impacting hospitals across the country." "They don't need this type of distraction," Sabrena Geborde, the wife of a patient at Mount Sinai, remarked to CBS New York.."My husband almost went into cardiac arrest, and when we got here the nurses and doctors did a wonderful job on him," Geborde said.
