Despite below-freezing temperatures which followed winter storm Fern, nurses on the picket line continued to march during the third week of the historic New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) strike. Negotiations between NYSNA and management teams from Montefiore Medical Center, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian started again on Tuesday, Jan. 27. Over the weekend, nurses were able to come to tentative agreements on their health care in contract talks with Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian. Under the tentative terms, nurses will keep their comprehensive health coverage, with most services covered at 70% after a deductible. We’re standing with NYSNA because these folks are New York’s nurses, they matter, and our city’s health depends on them having what they need.”NYSNA’s roughly 15,000 nurses began their strike on Jan. 12.
